Question for arrow builders who use wraps??????

[monkeyball]

Have you ever had your wrap lift?  Where the wrap overlaps onto itself it seems to be lifting. Of course this is not happening until I have the arrow completely fletched.

   Anyone else experience this?

                                                         Good Shooting,

Never had it lift, I use Onestringer wraps.

Gotta say that I've never had that happen......sorry to hear about it though.

At this stage maybe just a spot of glue to hold it down? Would hate to have to start all over now that they are fletched up.

How old were the wraps?

[kill shot]

Never had it happen. Maybe oil from your finger took some of the glue off from it?

[monkeyball]

These are Onestringer wraps also. Bought them last year up at Forksville off of a vendor.

  I have built a pile of arrows and am always careful once I have them prepped and ready to go. Can't quite figure this one out.

also never had it happen

I have the same wraps and for me they tend to lift is the feather is placed and glued on the overlapping wrap.

[Stump73]

Never had it happen.

Never had it happen either.

[cacciatore]

The only time it happened to me was because the frigid temperatures. I warrmed up the area and I fixed the problem!

[creekwood]

Never had it happen. When removing an old wrap, I sometimes wish they would come apart a little easier.  I have only used wraps from Onestringer.

[longbow guy]

never had that happened  over 150 arrows and counting

Maybe the glue on the wrap got compromised so how? Stored on a hot area? Maybe dirty, try wiping them off before taking off of paper.
I am another who has not had an issue before. Try calling One Stringer and see what they say.

May have him send you some of the double dogs to put over them. Even if the older wraps are compromised in some way new over laminates will fix them up. Just make sure you off set where the edges lay.

I've experienced the  the same problem. A half dozen or so over many applied. Not a good thing when your hours from home in the middle of a hunt when it starts. It might be that they don't adhere well to themselves because of the surface finish or coating. I've never had them lift from the shaft itself only on the overlap.

Maybe you could just trim the overlap with an exacto knife for now? That would at least keep you from wasting the fletching you've already done.

[steadman]

Never had it happen with Onestringers. However I have had it happen a couple times with the vinyl I use for decals. I couldn't tell you exactly why. Sorry to hear that, especially after fletching.

[Pete W]

Contamination on the outside of the wraps from oily fingers, wax , furnature polish overspray etc. etc can prevent the glue on the "inside" from sticking to the "outside" where it overlaps.

[stagetek]

Never had it happen, but my guess would be you used your finger to press the edge of the wrap when you started, and the finished end didn't like whatever was on your finger when it rolled around and it didn't stick.

[Alexander Traditional]

I've had it happen also. I have to say it hasn't been bad though. I keep pressing it down or use some glue to keep it down. On mine it's only been on a short portion of the part where it overlaps. I may start to where some latex rubber gloves on the next ones I try.
