Nock Glue

[celticknot]

I have been building arrows for a while and I am having trouble with a certain set of nocks. I can't seem to get them glued on my ash shafts. I have tried duco and fletch tite and they just won't stay. I'm gonna try super glue in a minute but It's driving me nuts. I have never had this problem. Any ideas?

Epoxy works for me, the 5 min version.

I think I have some 2 ton. I'll have to look and try if the super glue doesn't work. I also have barge cement I might try it too. Thanks

Gorilla glue works for me.

Super glue gel works for me.

What kind of nocks are they?

What type of finish on the shafts? Some glues are not compatible with certain finishes....

I had that issue once, using poly and fletchtite. I sanded the nock taper to rough it up and expose a bit of the wood. End of problem.

I am using daly's profin. It's what wispering wind uses and they say to use duco. They are bohning index nocks. I used this crazy super glue my local archery shop sells and it worked. Have any of you ever had touble making spiral fletched flu flu's with duco, cause I tried and it just kept peeling right off even after sitting for a few minutes.

I agree that sanding the nocks should work for you. If you use Duco on the fletches they will need more cure time than a few minutes. I give mine a mininum of 15 min for a standard fletch and severl hours for a spiral fletch.
