I was cruising the web to look up the specs on Gorilla Glue to determine if it would be good glue to use for fletching. Other than a very brief experiment with "super glue" type glue, which I found to be difficult glue to work with, I use "Fletch-Tite"

The (super) glue sucked into the porous rail of feather fletch, liquid and gel, got into the lower part of the feathers and welded the feathers and impeded some of the flex. After awhile the glue would become too brittle and when an arrow smacked a target, the shock actually kicked off some fletching. Working with the stuff was mess. Screwed up my clamps, solidly glued fletch to the fletching clamp, and temporally turned my hands into paddles.

What I was mainly looking for, is a glue that rapidly cures, but gives you just enough ample time to reset. I presently have a curious interest in a glue that is rapidly cured when heat is applied, and remains strong, but does not take a road grader and a metal sander to remove.

For those that do their own fletching, here is a glue tech-doc I tripped across. I found it to have some interesting data regarding what types of glues would be good for fletching shafts.
