any one know if duco will adhere to a vinyl cap wrap?? I have a bunch of duco from building cedars, and am out of fletch tite..and need to do some fletching.. I know duco wont work on aluminum but thought maybe it will on the vinyl cap wrap.. just hate to try it and have them come off thanks alot
duco wont hold up very well from my expiriences..
..if you use it....dont be suprised if you have a feather start to peel a coupke shots of use....espicially out in the field
Duco's no good for wraps.
I used duco on my tradgang wraps and it worked great.
I shot a deer and the feathered end stayed inside the deer. I took the arrow out and the feathers are still attatched firmly
Duco is not recomended for wraps. That is a first that I have hear that the duco worked well on wraps. Jim, What did you do different when you fletched them?
I'm using fletch tape on my wrapped shafts. Works great.
Adam - the cooperhead wraps look great !
I use fletch tape on my wraps (granted they aren't store bought, but avery and 3m plotter vinyl bought of an auction site) and then run a bead of duco down the side as insurance. haven't had any problems and these arrows have probably 1000+ shots through them.

these were them brand new...but they look about the same (except for feather wear) now.
I use Duco on mine with no problems. Hold up fine on my target/stumpers as well as my hunting arrows. I believe I got the wraps from 3 Rivers. They are the white / black tiger striped wraps.
Suggest trying a couple and if they peel use a different glue. Like I said I use it on my target arrows which have been shot a great deal.
thanks guys, figure I can try one arrow and see.. 'preciate it..
adam. I did nothing to them. After I stained the wood arrow I place the wrap on them and clear coat from the point up to the start of the wrap. I do not put clear coat over the wrap. The Duco worked great for me. No Kidding. I have made a dozen of them with your wraps and use 6 for hunting and 6 for target. Idunno>???
