  I am refletching my arrows again. >:)  This is the third time this season that I have done it.  The first time I thought it was me for not cleaning he arrow second time I cleaned the arrow and this time I tried the tape.  I was using duco cement wich alot of people swear by.  I think I will be buying fletch tite next.  The tape does work well also just expensive.  What do you guys use?

Fletch tite usually.. If your shooting a biscuit, throw a small dab on the leading point, where the vane foot attaches to the shaft. This will create a small glue 'ramp' and keep your vanes nicer/longer. I also usually shoot a 5 bull target, one arrow to each to minimize vane/nock damage.

The past couple years I've been using Saunders NPV arrow mate cement.  No problems and very fast drying.  I've used the old Fletch Tite, the newer Platinum and Duco cement also.

Like mentioned above, a little drop at the leading edge of the fletch when you remove the finished arrow from your jig goes a long ways at keeping feathers or vanes from being FUBO.

I have used fletch-tite since shortly after 1965, and have never had a problem that I could blame on adhesive. I have made all my arrows (wood, aluminum, and even some carbons for other people) since that time and have given the stuff a very thorough testing over the years. The stuff is not all that expensive for the number of arrows a tube will do, so I have never had any reason to try to cut corners in that area.
