Default What is best glue for feathers on carbon

What is the best "quick set" glue? For gluing feathers onto carbon shafts that glues them on quickly and easy, and that keeps them on after gluing.

Flex-Bond is easy and strong, but isn't the fastest setting stuff out there. I usually can get away with a five minute set time before moving the clamp.

I've been using feathers for over 10 years so I've tried it all. The best least exspensive is super glue gel. Just resently I've been using Goat glue. On my target arrows I use both for inserts also. To remove the inserts just put some heat to them(not on the cabon) and they slip out with a little twist. Jerry

To fletch fethers to carbon arrow I use either Goat Tuff or Fast Fletch advanced formula. Both work real well for me. Before fletching my shafts I wipe the shafts down with 91% alcohol to clean them first.

Bohning Fletch Tape. Period. End of discussion. I won't use anything else for feathers. Only thing I use glue for is to put a dot at each end of the feather to keep the ends from lifting in case of a passthrough on a target.
