I use fletch-tite platinum and it seems to last, I think that its because of the aluminum tube. A buddy of mine uses goat-tuff and it goes bad on him, I think its because the bottle lets air in and the aluminum tube doesn't.

Same thing I use. I've used most adhesives on the market but this is pretty much what I stick to now. At only a few $ a tube I can fletch several dozen arrows.

Dad gone it, you guys are going to make me go out and try it again. So do you clean your shafts with anything first? I usually clean my with 95% alcohol.

That's what a mentor taught me years ago and I've never had a reason to change. It's always worked!

JeffB, I figured the first time when I saw your avatar that you just had to be a Maiden fan. I could talk Maiden ( and the Old Metal days for hours also.). There is a guy where I work that is about my age and is an old metalhead too. When we first met we had a blast talking all night ( we were on the graveuard shift then.) We used to play Metal Trivia all the time. We would come up with real hard questions and see if we could stump each other ( Kind of like Stump the Trump! I bet you know what I mean).
I agree with you about Jannick Gers. I mean it is pretty cool of the band to still let him stay after Adrian came back, but I gotta admit, I just cannot stand watching the guy play live. Way way too much flipping around for me. Kind reminds me of Juan Croucier from Ratt. Just too animated I guess. And in my book, there ain't a better metal bass player than Steve Harris. I remember how they were always going on about Billy Sheehanbeing such a bass god. Man Harrisplays circles around him.
Funny you mentioned Grahm Bonnet. A few weeks ago they were talking about how Alcatrazz was wanting to do something again, buthe is into some other weird kind of music now. He truly never really didlook the part anyway, but he had some pipes.
Hey, just remembered that this is a hunting forum. Amazing how a couple old Maiden heads can take super glue and bring Eddie and the boys into it!
We'll have to talk some time and get some Piece of Mind

It is probably still good.
I clean my shafts with Acetone but then I wipe clean with water to get rid of the residue left behind by the acetone.I find acetone works better than most for removing old glues.I will use an sos pad on stubborn arrows but always wipe clean with water before fletching.

BC, I was told to use Denatured Alcohol because it does not have any oils or other ingredients that would leave any type of residue.
I'm sure there are other things that will work. I've just never had a reason to try something else.
