I tried heating a another dart's pointing and melting it into the broken stem but no joy! Any ideas people? |

| use something sharp like a stanley and make a small cut or dent in the stem and use the point of another to spin it anti clockwise.....happens me all the time and iv never had to heat a point..using the point of another dart usaually gets it out for me. It can be a bit annoying but it will come in the end |

| I'm with Hamo. Last time I had a stem break on me I just used the point of another dart. You could also try using a safety pin. Given that it opens into a 'v' shape may give you the torque you need to unscrew it. I have never had to heat a point to melt it in myself either. |

| use a stanley or something sharp like the point of scizzors to give somewhere for another point to get a grip |

| No, threaded another stem in fine. Think theres still a bit of old stem in there though, bit stiff! |
