Knocks on Cedar
« on: August 12, 2007, 07:13:00 PM »
Probably a stupid question but what glue do you use. Fletchtite, The point hot melt type glue, ...?

I need to glue some on my first set of cedars and want to do them right.

No problems with Fletchtite either. But Duco is probably a better option for woods.

If they're dipped in Bohning products-fletch-tite.  If they're dipped in poly-Duco. Hap

Thanks guys I actually left the taper bare and I used Fletch tite to glue them on (I knew where that was instead of looking for the Duco)  seems ok...I put a dozen of my tradgang arrow wraps on them. I got to get some fletching now (can't find them either)

I've used both Fletchtite and Duco, with comparable results -- 'though the Duco seems to give a little more time for things like making sure the nock is straight, and it doesn't cost as much. I also use Duco for fletching. If you have a hardware store nearby (Menard's, Lowes, Home Depot, etc), they should have Duco -- or you could try a craft store. For points, I use hot-melt, such as Ferr-L-Tite; never use craft store hot-melt glues, they are NOT tough enough.

Thanks guys I have Duco...Somewhere ... I knew about the Ferr-l-Tite for the points and have used that a bunch. But I'm making my cedars from scratch this time and wanted to make sure Fletch tite was OK for the nocks. When I find my Duco I'll put it in my new workshop.

Krazy glue.The only issue I have witj it is that you have to melt the nocks or points off but man it holds up.
