RE: Fletching tape
I' ve never had Bohning fletching tape pull loose from any finish, any kind of arrow (including carbon), in any kind of weather, temps from 10 degrees up to 115 degrees, rain or shine. I clean the shafts with denatured alcohol and let them dry a couple of hours before I fletch up.
I also do the same things Irish does to ensure I' ve got a good bond.
Come to think of it, when I first started using the stuff I did have some problems. The feathers didn' t come off but they would start leaning over. Found out the bond strengthens over time, so I wait at least overnight before shooting freshly taped arrows.
