What’s your favorite insert glue?

I’ve had good luck with the rubbery hot melt stuff from Three Rivers Archery last year and this year. I’d like to use a two part epoxy but I haven’t found any that grips real well yet. Then again, I stopped looking when I started using the hot melt from Three Rivers.
 
For about 5-6 years been using hot melt for carbons and have been 100% satisfied with it. I will not say for 100% sure I've never had an insert pull out but I can honestly say I don't recall having one pull out shooting into my XL DIY layered foam target and I shoot average 3 days a week year round 6 days a week from June through December. I try to take 20-50 shots each session (I ABSOLUTELY LOVE to shoot my bow) but sometimes I only take 10-15 shots) had to re-fill/repair my Mackenzee deer target 4-5x now and had very very few inserts pull out in it and I can not recall the last one that did.

I take great care in prepping my arrows and insets making sure both are sanded well for maximum adhesion and absolutely clean and dust from sanding free. I literally keep cleaning until my white paper towels stay white and look unused.
