I'm planning to fletch my own arrows. What do you guys flavor glue or tape and brand do you use?

Tape, with a drop of GT arrow glue at either end of the fletch.

Same as Smithhammer, I believe Bohning makes the tape I use.

I've been using Duco glue for a long time and it has always worked well for me. I have used it on wood and aluminum with positive results, ain't gonna change now.

Glue for me; Duco on most wood arrow finishes and Fletchtite Platinum if I was going to do alum or carbon. I used tape a couple of times. It was quick, but no easier and I didn't like the long term results. Not to mention a tube of Duco is cheap and does lots of arrows.

I use glue; but tape is good.

Fletch-tite platinum has worked well. Never needed to try tape.

I havent lost a feather in a year with tape. I used to lose them all the time. Now they wear out faster than they fall off.

Tape for me, only ones that came off were ones I over treated with black magic tire wet.

gringol · « **Reply #12 on:** January 20, 2012, 06:15:00 PM »

tape. For me it's just as durable as glue, easier to use, and less messy.

Tape is great. Bohning is the brand I use.

Like Fletcher I use Duco cement for wood arrows and Fletchtite Platinum for aluminum. They've always worked well for me, so I haven't looked for alternatives. It seems that the guys who use tape like that system though.

bohning fletch tape! - for all shaft materials from woodies to carbon. i'll never go back to any form of direct glue again, and that's what i started with 56 years ago ...

here's the fletch end of a carbon arrow that was feather 4-fletched with tape. it had been lost in the south carolina woods for three years, after killing a hog. notice how the feather quills are still firmly affixed to the shaft ...

click the pic below for a tape fletching video ...
