Super Glue Gel is the only way to go for me.

I like fletching tape too.

No mess or waiting for the glue to dry. Its all personal preference though. Try tape if you don't like it switch to glue.

Hope some of the suggestions offered up help you make your decision.

I tried super glue....for the speed...but found it fogged arrow wraps.  Anyone else have that happen?

Super glue is faster putting them on and takes longer taking them off when you need to refletch, much easier on you and the arrow scraping off the Platinum Fletchtite, you can end up scraping some arrow off trying to get all the super glue off. I also like using wraps. Never tried the fletching tape, haven't ever heard anything bad about it, but, just like the one guys said about the nimble fingers thing, don't think I'd like it.

I've had zero problems with platinum and onestringers wraps, and I've wore a few feathers out and had to refletch them.

I've also found that tape will lay over down here in the heat and humidity.
