What glue to use for Grizzlystiks fletch
«

I just bought some new Grizzlystiks, with a very slick finish on them. They look great.
Question: What glue should I use with these arrows, as the glue I use with my other (goldtip) carbons wouldn't begin to stick on this surface.
Ideas?
Thanks you!

It's best on all GrizzlyStik arrows to use cresting wraps first. The adhesives stick well to them and if you have to repair feathers later, it's much easier to strip cresting wraps.
You can use some of the super-glue style adhesives if you glue directly to the shaft, but then the adhesive will "eat" into the finish. If you ever have to repair arrows later it's really hard to get the old glue off without damaging the shaft.
Hope that helps.

New to the whole fletching my own arrows, but I put crest wrap on my grizzlysticks, and the feathers have attached fine with fletchtite platinum.

Don't forget to clean the fletched area with an abrasive like Comet or Ajax and a brillo pad, then rinsing with hot water and letting air dry before fletching.

I use Bohning Platinum, for all carbon and aluminum. Adding an arrow wrap helps out.

I like to use wraps on all my carbons,for easier to redo later and Platinum Fletch tite works great and never lost a feather.

How about Bohning fletching tape and the arrow wraps? Has anyone tried that combo on the Grizzly Stiks?
