Fletching glue/rubber cement

I have been using Du Co for the front and rear of my fletchings because it has no air bubbles and holds well but can't find it any where.
What do you use?...I have have purchased E-3000 and a couple others but they have air bubbles in them and look bad. Tks.

I still use Duco. Wal-mart doesn't carry it any more so I just buy it at the hardware store.

X2 wood, carbon and aluminum. Never an issue with the feathers.

I used Duco - no complaints. Still have some wood arrows I made using duco on the feathers 45 years ago, and everything is still holding up just fine.

Wally World has a generic cement that smells a LOT like fletch tite. It comes in a black and yellow bottle for like a buck. It has held up well so far on my carbons.

I wipe the carbons down with acetone and then use fletch tape with a dab of crazy glue at each end of the feather. I've missed and shot through the carpet hanging behind my target too many times to count. Even punched through a metal garbage can with one. Not a lost feather.
