Can I use super glue as a substitue for fletching glue?...It seems to hold a lot lot stronger than the bohning stuff I have been using, and is a lot cheaper around here, I have been using this stuff in a green squeeze bottle that is a gel super glue and doesn't run, it has been working perfectly on my carbons, with no wraps, but it turns odd colors on the carbon like white or a rainbow color sometimes, will it hurt the arrow, and is there anything wrong with using it?

yep, you can't use super glue on carbon shafts; it warps them... works great on aluminum though.
there are some other fast drying glues out there; all of the companies make them... stick with one of those.
I use the Loc Tite super glue and have had success with all types of shafts and fletching. I just got my Blazers to stick like crazy using this stuff. Personally, I can't see why I spent 10.00 a bottle on the glues from the fletching manufacturers.
Amen muzzyman, I agree. I'd use elmers glue or a glue stick or snow paste if the fletchings would stay on (not that I've tried [:-], I just assume).
The stuff is overpriced I believe mainly because companies make you believe it's the only thing you can use, or it's the absolute best.
It's the same with the razor blades with the cutouts in them people use to strip fletchings off. Those are the same as roofing blades which I have found much cheaper than archery stores (even *sigh* Bass Pro Shops). The prices are those are inflated just because companies make you think it's some sort of speciality item when it's really mass produced for multiple purposes.

that is basically the only thing i use now,,i have tried some of the other fletching glues but i have had the best luck with minimal effort wit regular super glue,,the gel is nice but it cost a little bit more than the liquid,, usually u can get a 10gram bottle of the liquid stuff for the same price and 4 grams of the gel.
