Found a tube of fletch-tite platinum dated Feb. 09. Think it's still good?

If it isn't opened I'd bet on it being good.

I 2nd macbow.  I was going to fletch some arrow's last night, but my opened tube from last year was no good.  Dang, I have to go buy a new one.  Think I might go to fletch tape this time because I don't make up that many arrows in a years time.

At the cost of feathers, I wouldn't chance it. You can always open it and if it isn't real thick like snot it might be ok. I went with fletching tape. Got tired of throwing away glue every year.

Keep it in the fridge and it will last longer

I've had the same tube for over a year and its stored in the garage, so I would look at it its probably good. I use fletching tape also. I only use glue for the ends, so a tube lasts forever.
