Default Fletching question

How long should I let Fletch Tite cure before shooting the arrows? I'm trying to find actual instructions on the web, but no luck yet.

Just for kicks, I just fletched a four vane 70x105 degree shaft and wanted to see how it does.

I am sure it is dry enough sooner but I always fletch the night before and then shoot the next day/evening.

I used to let fletch tite sit in the clamp for about 15 min. I know you just got into this and prob. have a good amout of fletch tite left but when thats gone if if you want to try something else get some pine ridge fletching cement. Fletch tite works awesome but takes longer to set up if your in a hurry the intant type glues are faster and hold just as well if the shafts are preped right. Ihave found that the pine ridge works just as good as goat tough but is cheaper.

I am too impatient to wait fifteen minutes. I just let each vain set for about two min. just so I can get em all done. but I agree they shouldn't be shot until the next day.

I use gel super glue. I let each fletch set for 30 seconds then do another one. I shoot the arrows as soon as I am done.

Never used Fletch Tite, but if it's a super glue like product I don't see the need to wait 24 hours.

AAE makes a fletching glue that sets up in about 30 seconds, I use a bitzenberger single, and it has cut my fletching time down to a 1/8th.

That AAE Fastset Gel is unreal. I still wait a day to shoot them though.

I use a Jo-Jan so I can speed things up. Therefore I want a fast set glue. Super glue gel or Goat Tuff for me.

Use Goat tuff and let her set for about 20 seconds and you're ready to roll.
