Fletching Glue......

Primitive Weapon · 01-16-2007, 06:02 AM

What glue do you guys use who fletch your own arrows? I've been using the Bohning Insta-Gel and it works ok but I have been having fletching fly off from time to time.

I should clarify that, since I've switched from feathers back to blazers I've had this problem.

I'd also like to find a glue that sets a little quicker. The "insta" in the Bohning glue is a little misleading. I have to let the jig sit for at least 10 minutes before removing the clamp.

I have used Fletch -Tite Platinum , but now I am using Bohning Quantum XT. It is working very well so far.

Ditto.

I don't know why you guys are wasting your money on Goat Tuff.

Y'all know all it is is regular super glue, right? The stuff that's like $0.99 a tube? Goat Tuff is what, $8.99 a bottle?

Been using goat tuff for about 6 months. Does a good job

loc tite superglue gel. I too had problems with fletching coming off and then I read on here somewhere to put a tiny dab of the glue your using onto the leading tip of the fletch after removing it from the clamp. I tried that and have not lost one since.
