I use the Fletchtite Platinum as well and have never had a problem with feathers comming unglued. Just make sure to use it in a well ventalated area as it can smell a bit when fresh out of the tube. I've never noticed an oder after it dries, just when fresh out of the tube.

Cacciatore, line your clamps with painters tape and the glue will not stick to them.

--------------------
The broadhead used, regardless of how sharp, is nowhere as important as being able to place it in the correct spot.

Used to use Fastset Gel from Arizona Archery Products, went to Goat Tuff for awhile, and am now back using Fastset Gel again. Never had a feather come off.

Fletch tape! Works like a charm! I do put a little dab of Fletch tite platinum on each end of the fletch.

Fletch Tape, Glue at the front and then roll the front of the feather with another Carbon arrow to make it smooth.

Works great!

Fletch tape is great but what is with this refletching stuff.... I always lose or break arrows long before that thought has time to enter my mind. Haha.

Hey Burt - Fletch tape works well. Pretty much peel and stick. As others have said, a little drop of glue on both ends of the fletch and your ready to go. If I can do it, anyone can.

As long as the questions are about wraps, do those sold on this site fit carbons only, or are they big enough for 11/32 wood shafting??
