Cyanoacetate.
Which is usually super glue, model glue, fletching glue, and probably other glues too. I buy the fletching glue because, locally at least, it's the best value by volume.

All I use anymore is fletching tape. I never had any problems with Fletch Tite glue as long as I prepared my arrows.

Fletch Tite Platinum for carbon or aluminum.
I don't build wood arrows, but if I did, I would use Duco for them.

With aluminums I use comet then acetone until the shafts squeak, then use fletch tape on bare shafts and finish with a fore and aft drop of Gorilla super glue.

Not a fan of Duco for anything but nocks. I use Fletch-tite or Saunders NPV. I've gotten to prefer the latter for both aluminum and carbon's.

What are you fletching? Wood, aluminum, or carbon? If wood then what is the finish you are going to glue to?

Used FletchTite platinum on a dozen XX75 Tribute alums. Prepped them with alcohol wipes. One by one they are gradually coming undone. Always had good luck with that glue. Must be the Tribute finish. From now on will use a fine grit sandpaper to rough them up a little before fletching.

I've had better luck with Saunders NPV on aluminum.
The original Fletch-tite was better than the Fletch-tite Platinum they make today.

I only use Duco on my wood arrows I build. I used to use fletch tite but when they changed to Platinum version they did not bond as well to my arrows. not sure if it is the water based poly sealer I use or just the recipe is that much different in the Platinum.
Duco or if I run out...then Gorilla Glue Super is my backup...but DUCO all the way.
