Need help with fletching!

JARED_LA · 06-07-2005, 10:11 AM

I will be purchasing a Grayling RH jig, arrow wraps, blazer vanes, and feathers. Could ya'll give me some opinions on what type of glue to use for the vanes and feathers on the wraps. Also, is the Grayling Jig a good purchase?
Thanks!

I glued Blazer vanes onto wraps using Fastset Gel.

Glued feathers onto wraps using Fletchtite.

I use the goat tuff glue. It set in about 10 secs. A little pricey but works great.

I use Goat Tuff as well. It is pricey but works well.

I use bohning's Flech tite, the platnium. It works well, takes about 10 min. to set, not expensive and the tip, and this is a good thing about it, clears itself out when you push the cap back on. Use the whole tube and never have to cut the nossel shorter. The nozzel is also user friendly, and that's another problem it helps with, not using too much glue and having to clean it off. I've used the more expensive quicker setting kind and they do work, but they were harder to get off my jig and often stuck the clamp to the fletching.

I just read your post again. I don't wrap so I'm not sure just how this glue will work.

The jig is a popular one. I use BPE's right helical jig. Wish I had a straight clamp for it as well.
