Using glue to coat whipping...
« on: February 20, 2011, 03:11:56 pm »
Well I usually whip my arrows, and will always whip the little front part just to make sure I dont get a arrow threw my hand like some people on here have talked about ( :o ), so I also brush the whippings in glue as well, as if you don't they wear down pretty fast and break. I use normal ol titebond 3 on arrows that are just for playing around with or will see lots of hard use, and it works great reallly. (After like 4 or 5 coats.) Sometimes the front part chips, but no big deal, just put some more on if I care about it. Usually don't as it's just a beat up stump shooter anyhow. Only thing about it is the dark brown color. I wanted to make some arrows where the shaft section under the fletchings were painted and glue over the whipping to protect it, but still see the painted shaft underneath. Heres some glues that dry clear, and have a good amount of open time to allow for brushing on.


I was wondering if anybody had any experience with either of these glues...

Do you paint it on with a brush? Wouldn't it dry to fast? Well, apparently not, since you use it, :)

I put it on the wrap and use my finger to smooth it out. As long as it is wet you won't stick to it.

 fish, it is against another rule to post a link to a site that is not a sponsor of PA. Maybe you should take a minute and read the rules!

Howdy,  I use super glue as well.   I use a piece of plastic bag to smooth the glue after I put a few drops on the binding.  You can re-coat in a short while and build quite smooth a perfectly clear film.   I usually just use the drop on liquid, but at least one maker has a brush on super glue.   Ron

The brush on super glue works well too. The stuff I have is a light purple coloe but dries clear.     A light sanding with very fine sandpaper between coats will make a solid , secure band of your wraps.

"it is against another rule to post a link to a site that is not a sponsor of PA. Maybe you should take a minute and read the rules!"

I didn't even look at those. ::)    I will delete them. In the future you can give the company name and a discription of the item just no direct link to companies that are not sponsor.

   After you've completly finished your arrow buy a can of varafane spray your whole arrow. Never had it where off not to primitive but a good sealer.
