Title: Duco replacement
Post by: Pack on September 27, 2009, 02:50:00 PM
Does anyone know of a good wood arrow glue, now that I can't find Duco locally?

Some of the thick CA or jell super glues work well.
Also many of the household glues as well as solvent based contact cement has worked for me. anymore I have been using a rubberized CA glue that gorilla makes and a accelerator

Pack, Walmart doesn't appear to carry Duco any longer but I have still been able to find it at hardware stores and independent lumberyards.

If you really can get true DUCO from the Family Dollar Store @ $1 - buy all you can.  Hardware stores retail for $2.50 to $2.75 - those that have it.

DEVCON apparently told WAL MART they had to raise their prices so the fine folks at Wally World dropped them and went to a Chinese import that is now $1 for a 1/2 oz tube.  The Old DUCO price was $.97 for a full oz.

I bought 1 tube just to try it - NOT THE SAME QUALITY!

I have since found a wholesale house in Chicago and I get it by the case of 48 tubes.  Since I average about 8 dozen wood arrows per week I use a lot of DUCO.  You just don't need Fletch Tite for wood - the expense is not necessary.

I could sell it to you for $2.25 per tube, but then with shipping, you may be just as well off to find it locally.  Of course there is no sales tax in Montana!
