All of the instants sold by archery manufacturers are cyanoacrylate (see below) Super/Crazy Glue is just the original. The only issue sometimes with "regular" super glues are the bond is brittle, its too loose (consistency), and hazes up.- there are of course some different formulas these days to address these issues. But when instants first appeared in the Archery industry it was just your basic super glue in a different branded tube.

Thats the reason I am asking the question here, to find out if others have tried and found them to be just as reliable as far as brittlenes.
So have you used the standard krazy glue, etc???
Yup, I have, years ago and had the issues with brittleness (if you shot a group, often a hard shaft hit, and not just a vane hit would cause the vane to come off iin part at the base)
I don't know about the loc-tite brand mentioned above by Proff, but I have heard good things about it. I just bought a good sized bottle of beyond bond, which is the best instant I've used so far, so it will be awhile before I try the loc-tite.
Thanks. Sounds typical of the archery glues too I have seen.
