I've been doing all my fletching the last couple of years with superglue.
I get the bigger bottles from Grizzly tools. It has a small tip for easy application.
Also use the accelerators if in a hurry.

Sooooooo. Any updates? Pictures? Reviews?
Thinking of trying the matte finish on the bow I'm finishing up. Just wandering how many of ya out there tried it and if ya liked it better than whatever you were previously using.

On the couple bows I refinished in the past, I used spar urethane with satin poly as a top coat. I think the spar is a good durable finish and like  the looks of the satin poly. But I'm not happy with the durability of the satin poly. It seems to scratch and chip easily.

I've used it on a couple of bows and I like it.  It's really nice to get 4 coats of finish on a bow in less than 30 minutes.

It isn't a true matte finish but is super durable once cured

I read you post and I've been using this VTH every since.  It's a great sealer, sets up on everything too.
