Best glue for Gasket Lacquer?
« on: February 25, 2010, 03:11:00 PM »
Hey guys,
What type of glue do you use over gasket lacquer BESIDES duco? I've been using Duco and it works really good, but it's too slow for my liking, hinders my output. Been trying fletch tape as well, but I'm still not sold on it. Been building some arrows for other people and I'd like to move faster.
When I was just using a spar urethane base coat, "Beyond Bond" was the bee's knees, but with GL over the spar urethane that takes just as long to dry as the Duco (10-15 minutes).
Thanks,
Craig

fletch tite platinum.

but really, there's nothing better than fletch tape.  i just stripped three 4-fletched arrows that used fletch tape and it was not easy getting the feathers off but after doing so there was no crusty glue left that need to get knife scraped off.  you just need to learn to use the tape method properly.

It's really nice because I won't need multiple jigs if I use fletch tape, I'll mess with it some more.

When I use Duco on GL I set a timer for 7 1/2 minutes. When the timer goes off I turn the jig. The glue isn't set up enough in that time to go shoot but if I'm even halfway careful it's fine for me to do the next feather.

I'm like Rob. I don't think there is a better product on the market. Been using the stuff for at least 4 yrs. & I've never had a feather come loose because of the tape. Great stuff.

I use fast fletch glue. It takes only 2 minutes a feather. I can do a dozen arrows in a 1/2 hour.

Ive been using fletch tape for years, easy to replace one feather or all without any scraping or damage to shafts.
