I am a big fan of fletch tape, and have had good results with it. I've been using gasket laquer, which the tape sticks to great. I want to get away from using gasket laquer because when rubbing a shaft with a screwdriver or whatever to straighten, the gasket laquer sometimes will chip or peel off, which I hate.
I have used water poly as a top coat in the past, but had problems with feather slipping if the arrow gets layed down on a table or flat surface. The feathers would shift,a drop of glue on the ends didnt seem to matter.
My typical system has been stain, oil poly, crest, water poly, then gasket laquer. Steel wool between coats.
I just stained a new set, and an interested in using Danish oil, but not sure how well fletch tape would stick, or if its compatible with other finishes.
If not this, can I get some other recommendations? I use the water poly after cresting as it doesnt smear my cresting. I use testors model paints for cresting, and have a ton of them in every color imaginable, so I prefer to stick with that.
Suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
