Substitute for Duco for glueing
« on: October 07, 2011, 07:09:00 PM »
Can't find any Duco around, don't have fletch tape and I need to fletch a batch of wood arrows.  Finish is polyurethane.  Can I use super glue?  Any suggestions??

Locktite super glue gel.

Do not follow where the path may lead.  Go, instead, where there is no path and leave a trail.

I'm going to check them tomorrow morning, the super glue I bought turns red when I dries.  Not sure what that's about, but it could be confusing looking for blood on the arrow   ;)

Beacon 527 is the glue I use for fletching and many other sticky projects.  Find it in the crafts section at Wallyworld.  Best stuff I have found for most of my glue up needs.

Dollar General has Duco around here for a buck, if you have them out there.

There's a Glue Called Kwik Grip in the same craft section at Wallyworld that Jim Mentioned..I think it has about the same Makeup as Duco.

Wal Mart generally has Duco for cheap, but it's in the paint section. The gel superglue is the way to go if you can't find Duco.

If I use super glue on carbons I always spray the feather area of the shaft with Bulldog adhesive promoter. Feathers stay put and when it is time to refletch you can scrape the old feathers off without damanging the carbon shafts.
