Arrow Glue

[biggamefish]

I am using aluminum arrows with feathers. I am having a problem keeping the feathers on the arrow. The glue just isn't holding. I have loctite household repair and duco cement neither seem to be working all the great. Any other suggestions would be great i am looking to switch so i can keep my feather on.

my hubby uses fletch tite with great result, even on our 7 year old that shots sometime with very poor form.

Goat tuff glue works great been using it for years the fetching tears before the glue bond breaks.

This is suppossed to be for feathers on all arrow material. I shoot vanes so I have not used this.

How clean are you getting the shafts ? Do you wipe them down with acetone after they are cleaned up ? I messed some up when I first started fletching shafts as oil from my hands was affecting the adhesion of the glue . I use super glue on my carbon arrows and havn't had good luck with the Platinum Fletch Tite although others swear by the stuff .

Where do you find this stuff? Ace, lowes?

for feather the fletch type tape is better than just about anything once you get used to how to use it. simple and can do a doz arrows in about a hour. just have to put a drop of duco cement on the front and back of the feather as a final step so you do not lose feather if you get a pass thru. I have found arrows a year later that the feather still required a razor blade to get off the shaft...

The shafts need to be clean. I use 90% alcohol on my ACC shafts for the last 10 years and haven't had a problem other than FUBAR vanes from shooting tight groups!

Do not use rubbing alcohol or the ones sold for cleaning nail polish it has oil in it.Go to the hardware store in the paint section and get 100% alcohol.Wipe both the shafts and the bottom of the vains.I never had a problem using fletchtite.
