Best glue for feathers over Onestringer wraps?
« on: January 12, 2013, 09:16:00 AM »
What's the best glue to use for fletching over a Onestringer wrap?  I have some super glue already at home that I'm tempted to use but was curious if there was something else that might give me a better bond.

I use Loctite gel control super glue and have never had an issue with feathers coming loose.
Do not follow where the path may lead.  Go, instead, where there is no path and leave a trail.

I use the fletch-tite platinum and have had great results.
The season gave him perfect mornings, hunter's moons and fields of freedom found only by walking them with a predator's stride.

Get the Bohning tape. Works great with a dab of fletch tite platinum on each end of the feather

I have used Fletch-tite Platinum and fletch tape.  They both worked fine.  Onestringer's wraps give you a nice smooth surface to glue to.

Don't use Duco,I know from experience that it will not work.  Superglue works best for me.
