Fletching

[Drewster]

I primarily use DUCO and set the timer for 12 minutes.  You can cut the time a few minutes if you are in a warm environment with low humidity.  I let them dry at least overnight before shooting them.

I used fletch tape on a dozen arrows and when left in a backquiver, I noticed that, over time, the fletches sort of moved when leaning up against each other. No more tape for me.

For me 5 minutes each feather

I've had issues with fletch tape letting the feathers shift some.  I just tried Bohning Blazer Bond at my local Gander Mountain.  It has a set time of only 15 seconds.  MAN do I love this fletch glue.  That's about the speed of tape with the fully covered adhesion of glue.  No more feather edge lifting with tape.  This is my fletch glue from now on.

Like CRS said " I must be fletch tape illerate" have tried every thing some will stick some won't. Most let go in the middle, with heat, and we have plenty of it here in SC tape will let your feathers shift. Been using the Gorilla super glue, fairly fast setting and even I can get them to stick. I really do wish I could get the tape to work as it is very fast. But I give up on it.

fletch tape here also,I have never had a problem.

Super glue, 1 min per feather, ready to shoot in 5 min

tape here too, but with glue I waited 10 min with fletch tite premium. It depends on what you use, some manufacturers  claim shorter curing times. But in my experience they do not bond as well. Tape is the best of both worlds. I use dab of duco on the front after tape.

I use Duco on woodies and set a kitchen timer for 10 min.  Never had a problem with feathers falling off. As others have said, a dab of Duco on the front and back of each feather.
