Whump Sez; Any kind of rubber type cement works well and I too have used fletch tite for most everything. That being said; if your nock point is not set too low and your spine is right for your bow a seal skin arrow rest will last almost as long as your bow. I have seal skin on all my bows and have some on a Hill style bow that has well over 2000 shots over it and still looks good. Rug wear on the shelf is caused by [1] a nock point that is set too low and [2]spine that is incorrect for your set up. Hunt safe.
