Fletching glue ?

I'm building a set of wood arrows for my son,and I have put 3 coats of Min-wax polycrylic as a final sealer. What do you arrow builders use as a fletching glue? I'm hoping not to screw this up as its my first attempt. Thanks 1Longbow

I use Duco cement for wood arrows with a polyurethene finish and would use the same for polycrylic.I use Platinum fletch tite for all other fletching.

Fletch-tite platinum works very well for me, too. I've used it only on carbon shafts, not wood, but the print on the tube states it's safe to use on wood.

I would use the Duco on them. I have quit using the platinum after having bad luck with it on poly.

I also use water base poly, and Duco is the way to go. Stuff works great on any wood finish I've ever used.

Duco for me too, I also have had problems with the Platinum fletch tite.

I prefer the thicker types of Superglue when it's compatible with the finish. It works extremely well with polyurethane, not so well with gasket lacquer. I prefer Duco for GL.
With Superglue and my 6-pack JoJan, I can fletch as fast as I can put the glue on the feather. No waiting.

I use Polycrylic over my crown paint/cresting. I only use Fletchtite Platinum, no problems at all.

I use Fletch Tape. Rob did a how to not long ago. I've had no issues with the tape. I know you asked about glue, but the tape must count as it's sticky
