best fletching glue
 

i was wondering what kind of fletching glue is best for carbon arrows.

RE: best fletching glue
 

I use Pine Ridge and love it. There are a lot of good glues out there.

i use pine ridge too because a big bottle is cheap - and if the glue is cyanoacrylate - or something - which all the fast set ones are, why pay more for one kind because its called goat tuff?

Fellas, is that the name...just Pine Ridge glue?



Thanks, Bo

Don't know if it is the best, but it works..Bohning Fletch Tite Platinum.

I have tried about them all, and have came to the conclution that AAE fastgel or goattuff is about the best. Cyanoacrylate is the active ingredient in these and superglues. So be warned. They are brittle but hold fletchings better than most.But that smell about knocks me out. And its messy. But for carbons, it gets the job done.

But I recently have found the cats meow. I used bohning fletch tape to fletch up a doz alum with feathers. And its the neatest stuff. Little time consuming but does a very neat job. I also like platinum for aluminums. Been shooting those arrows all day with my longbow and not a feather one has came loose.

I agree w/ the tape. If you are fletching feathers.....there's nothing better.

For some reason we ordered 2 bottles of Goat Tuff when my friend opened his shop, one for him and one for me, and had nothing but problems. Fletchings and feathers wouldn't hold no matter what we tried to do with prep. Maybe just a bad batch but then he had to look for something else and we haven't been let down with Fast Fletch. It is a fast set glue and is cheaper then Goat Tuff.

For years I've used and had absolutely no problem with fletch-tite, but I usually had another Bohning product to adhere to, either paint or blue-clear.
I few years back I tried the tape and haven't looked back.
