I use Loctite 404 instant adhesive. It sets in about 2-3 seconds the only problem is removal is hard when it comes time to refletch. I will also have to look into the Goat tuff and remover...

Yes. The archery shop that turned me on to the stuff has it in a small coffee can sized container 3/4 full of this solution. He put the shaft in the solution and wiped the vanes off. One of the vanes didn' t come off as easy so he put it back in the can for a while. T
he " Debonder" worked. While we were waiting a bit he glued his fingers together to show me how well it worked. after watching them come apart and him whipping the residue off that was enough for me. One warning though. make sure you put the vanes where you want them. This stuff sets up FAST

Do you mix the debonder with something. You stated the owner had a 3/4 full coffee can of the stuff. I see the bottles are only 1 oz. and are $8 a bottle. How many bottles to fill a sm. coffee can?

thanks

I asked him the same thing. He said he contacted Timms Archery and ordered a small jug of the stuff. He uses it over and over so it seems to be cost effective. I don' t know the spacifics, but I can find out more if you would like.

Try to do that AC. I can see where dipping would be the way to go. Thanks

I am assuming that if one use ACC unibusings glued into the shaft that dipping would not be an option as the bushings would fall out. Also any idea on how it works on wraps?

Thank you

Very good question. I have no idea to tell you the truth. I will find out next time I refletch my crested shafts. I will try to get ahold of Dan today and get more spacifics on the debonder. Sometimes he can be difficult to contact this time of year due to guiding steelhead fishermen. Next month he is guiding turkey hunters.

i go right down to wal-mart and buy myself a bottle of loctite-quiktite!! It' s cheap fast and I have found nothing that works better![:-]

I use Fastest Set gel, it sounds real similar to Goats Stuff. small bead down vane, clamp it, wait only few seconds, and its on. I' ve never had a vane pull off the shaft, and any needing replacing for tears or worn had to be cut off. I never liked Fletch Tite much. My vanes seemed to come unglued quit often even after using arrow shaft cleaning solutions, and roughing the surface a bit.

Super glue gel works as good as any of the instant adhesives.Alot cheaper too.I would be careful about dipping a carbon arrow in anything to remove the glue.It may weaken the resin that holds the carbon fibers together.Lately I have been using the tape to fletch carbons.It does' nt hold quite as good .But it' s much easier to refletch.One thing I do is put a dab of glue at each end to hold the feathers in place.
