I've tried all sorts of stuff but found nothing that works for extended periods so just don't worry about it anymore.
Tuned properly,the arrow will still fly ok wet for close range shooting.
Hair spray worked ok short term.

I have been using unscented hair spray for almost 30 years If your in a down pour then nothing works but then in a down pour there is no real blood trail cause it gets washed away so you should not be there any way .
NOTHING works for long and a steady rain . But on a mistly drizzly day hair spray works fine . Will collapse on the shot but then you will probably use another arrow for another shot any way.

NOTHING like SE Alaska! My suggestion will probably go un-noticed and get mixed in with many of the other inferior methods above. I came up with the Spar in a can because most of the other methods mentioned above failed.

I use Black Magic tire spray. It does smell, but let them air out and they are fine. Steve if I ever get to come hunt SE Alaska, I will just put bags over my fletch

Not totally unnoticed Steve. If it works in SE Alaska it will work anywhere!
