Hey all,
I am going to be fletching my arrows sometime this week. This will be the first time I have done this in about 10 years so I am a bit foggy on all the needed prep work. My arrows are carbon and I will be fletching with FEATHERS. I am also going to try that Delta-Bi-Vane from 3 Rivers on a couple of shafts. Before I start I need to get some information.
1. After I remove the fletch thats on their now, what would be good to use as a shaft cleaner to remove all the gunk left behind? Would fingernail polish remover work?
2. What glues do you use for inserts?
3. What glue do you use for fletching? I would like to have something that will work with carbon and aluminum on both Feathers and vanes. Would the Fletch Tite Platinum be a good choice?
Sory for the NOO-B questions, I just need a few pointers before I go out and buy the stuff and start fletching.
Thank you for the time and help.

Well, a little fingernail polish remover works pretty good, I have been using Duco cement for the fletching with good results, also works for the inserts. Hot melt(the amber colored)also works really well for inserts------but I'm far from being an expert.
