Fletching Glue
« on: December 03, 2014, 06:14:00 PM »
How is the best way to store fletching glue between uses so that it doesn't dry out.  How much of a part does temp play?  I have been keeping it in the house, but I could keep it in the shop where it is considerably cooler.

I just store it on a shelf or tackle box out of direct light. You should really change your glue out yearly as fresh glue works the best. Any household temp should be adequate and I would not store it in a fridge.

I roll the tube up as I go, keeps the air out, and store it at room temp in a tackle box. Make sure the cap is on tight. Seems to last a long time.

What glue? Some use super glue which does last longer in refer. I still have Ducco from last year that is good. A tight cap helps. I have never had Fletch-tite get hard in the tube. I keep my paints/glues between 70and80 degrees.

I personally hate the tube that Fletch-tite Platinum and most other glues come in, so I bought a little squeeze bottle from 3rivers (they cost about $2 each) to keep all of my glue in. It does not harden in the tips, and doesn't make a mess.

I keep it in the house at room temperature and it's always ready to go.
