Gorilla hot glue is an excellent choice. I've been bow hunting for 40 years and its hands down the best for inserts. Impact resistant and makes expensive brass inserts reusable when arrow gets trashed.
The black color is usually the result of small carbon and rubber particles for viscosity and impact resistance. Permabond 735 is the original stuff, and everyone else just rebrands it.
I think the #1 thing is make sure theres no lip on the point or insert, thatll pull inserts out even with meticulous cleaning like you did Also the black stuff is rubber
You can get them to stick like concrete if you follow the procedures! I used external components for years with no issues, but there is greater risk of them pulling out than a hidden insert if you don’t. Thanks for watching and commenting!
I scrub the inside with a copper .22 caliber bore brush for a few strokes. I also scratch the insert shaft with 100 grit sandpaper a few strokes. Clean with alcohol. Ihave used the Bohning low temperature hot melt for several years. I’m sure it’s not as good as a quality epoxy but I only loose one or two points a year. Thinking I will try epoxy on this new arrow builds for the 24’ hunts.
I find that the brush doesn't do anything except push existing debris around. The sandpaper does work, though. If you use any kind of chemical adhesive, check what it bonds to. Many bond to the moisture on the surface of the parts, so you might need to let them absorb water from the air before you glue them.

Good idea I’ll have to try this!
Removing the nock to avoid airlock while the insert is being glued in is an important step also.
This is a good point! Many nocks and inserts will have holes in them to avoid this, but its important to check!

It works like a charm, thanks for the info!
Black Eagle specifically says not to clean their arrows. Also, using kimshaw Hot Melt works amazing, and you can get the inserts out if you need to.
Why do they say not to clean them ?
Interesting, I haven't heard that before! I wonder why they suggest that
