fletching glue with a jig..

[aero86]

so my past arrows ive been just tying on the fletchings by hand.  im going to acquire at least one jig, and was wondering, what do you guys use on your fletchings when using a jig?  super glue?

[Pat B]

I always used Duco when fletching with a jig but fletch tape works well also and is faster than the other glues.

[Scowler]

Always liked Duco.

Duco....super Glue is fast...but it gets brittle...and the Sun breaks it down also....Duco takes a bit longer to set...but it's easier to clean off of your Jig...and it stays soft a lot longer...and it scrapes off of the Shafts easy when you have to re-fletch....JMO

[ricktrojanowski]

Duco.  It sticks to pretty much any finish, it is cheap and easy to find.

on Duco the applicator tip is so wide that it's hard to get a nice cleam bead on the feather, do you guys that use it transfer it to another applicator bottle or something?

[El Destructo]

I buy it in Squeeze Tubes from Ace Hardware.....

Thanks Mike, I'll check that out.

duco and doller stores carry it , mine for a buck, used fletch tite too but like the duco better.

3 Rivers sells applicator bottles with tiny metal needle like nozzles that you screw on the bottle.  Just keep the nozzles in a container of acetone, or they will clog.

I fell in love with the fletch tape real fast when I finally got to try it.
With Duco front and rear it's a great combo. (I apply it with a toothpick)

When re-fletching time comes,,, that's when I really appreciate the tape. 

The increase of speed and ease,,, plus the neat looks from no glue line is a added bonus for me.

I was hard-sell on the tape. Afraid it wouldn't hold for beans. I was wrong (again).

If I want to maintain some primitive authenticity I use sinew wraps and hide glue. Otherwise I use Duco. Jawge

hmmm, ill have to look into the fletching tape them!  i still plan to wrap the front and rear of the fletchings, just because i like the look!  fletch tape and duco..

[aero86]

so i got an arizona ez fletcher.  and some fletch tape.  like the fletch tape, but i dont like the fletcher, unless i can adjust the nock to fletch distance.  its too long. 

[El Destructo]

no way to adjust an Arizona....only thing you can do is go with shorter Feathers....but this will give you a bigger distance between nock and Fletch
