I use a super glue gel called Steel Force, works great, Goat tuff is a good gel also....they are both designed for fletching arrows..

I prefer Fletch Tite Platinum.

I started out using Goat Tuff but disliked the white residue it left on my arrows if there was any excess glue along the edge of the vane.

The fact that Fletch Tite is about five dollars cheaper than Goat Tuff is another good thing about it!

i tried fletch tite platinum and had bad results with it on alum arrows the a/c/c i used last year it did extremely well on,,and was wondering about adding a crest to my arrows if it is worth doing,,ive heard it increases the holding power of the glue and makes it easier to take off,,any ideas

also i want a glue that is fairly cheap i aint got much money to spend on things

I fletched a half dozen arrows yesterday with Blazers and EZE-Crests with great results. The only problem is that if left in the jig too long the pressure causes the glue to start to melt the crest.



This is the only arrow I really had a problem with. It was also, fortunately, the first one I did with the crests.

I like Saunders arrow mate. It is cheap and will hold great. It is not quick drying however so you need to leave the clamp on for 15 minutes or so.

That is the link for the spray cresting. It's an interesting read. I use super glue. I will admit, I haven't tried to remove a feather yet, but I know it sticks and works very fast. It also doesn't react with the paint if you spray crest.

Yes. It is very simple. Look through the thread. Some of us posted pictures of the results. They look great!
