I've used fletch tape with a small drop of fletch tite on the front of the feather with no problems.

I second the fletch-tape...

I've had trouble with fletch tape in the hot and humid summertime here in TX.  It melts!!

I'll try the same glue I use with the gasket lacquer and see how that works.

Thanks,

Fletch tape has worked OK for me in hot humid SC,  at least until I got the bright idea of spraying camp dry on the fletching to water proof it.  Leaving the arrows in the pickup on a 100+ degree day may have also given me some problems.

I used the quantum xt super glue. expensive and i will use regular superglue next time.  it was almost instantaneuous. 3 fletchs done as fast as I could load them up. then a dab of bondpro on the front and back.  Have to still try them out, friday possibly.
