Use a cap wrap - then fletch-tite.  No problems!  You can easily remove the cap wrap later to refletch.  H

Woops, I forgot about the fletch tape. It is awesome ! Just use a dot of Duco fore and aft to make sure you do not get a lifted feather.

Saunders NPV..... My Opinion, of course, its THE Best Fletching Glue on the Market.

I use Fletch-Tape with all my arrows that have Testors on them. In the past I used super-glue CA from the local hobby store.

I have never used the tape but that's a good idea, as for glue, it would depend on which of the Testors paints you used.
