So I just had a dozen arrows fletched up with blazers and a 2 deg offset. Well I get home and shoot the first 3 and the fletch pops off. So i stop and check the rest and 9, I repeat 9, out of the dozen have fletchings that didn't get a good contact to the shaft. Needless to say I am kinda PO. So I need to know what kinda glue you guys use for the best blazer adhesion (NOTE: I use wraps on my arrows). It seems to me that my guy used Elmers. I have never had a single fletching come of from this guy and am just befuddled.
Bohning Quantum XT is all I ever use now. I tried just about everything and I like it the best. Plus, I can get it at my shop instead of on the internet.
I use Loc-Tite super Glue Gel. I can get it at Lowe's or Home Depot, its cheap, its tough, and it lasts. I use it on wrapped arrows, crested arrows , bare carbon, and aluminum. Also consider getting a fletching jig, (BITZ!), and doing it yourself. In the long run its cheaper and much more convenient. You'll also get a great sense of accomplishment doing it yourself.
That is very true. On the rare ocasion that I do fletch my own arrows, I feel pretty good about it. I don't own my own fletching kit, so I just use Gander's.
Goat tuff, it's expensive compared ot other glues but I tired pulling a blazer off a carbon shaftthe other day that was target damaged and it wouldn't come off, the vane just tore and I was pulling pretty dang hard.
OK, I just took four of my arrows that the feathers wore out on.
I put an orange wrap on one and used the Bohning Platinum.
I put Bohning Platinum on a bare shaft.
I put an orange wrap on one and used Goat Tuff.
I put Goat Tuff on a bare shaft.
We will see how they come out the next time I go to shoot. I am going to take 15 shots with each and the try to rip them off. I'll let you know what I think is best. It might be a few days though.
Best glue for Blazers?
