Title: What fletching glue cleans easily
Post by: Zmonster on September 28, 2010, 10:20:00 AM
I'm using fletch tape, and have always put a drop fore and aft on the feather using fletchtite platinum. When it comes time to refletch, is there any other glue that cleans up easier than the fletchtite platinum?

Arrow Mate APV is thee best I have ever used in all my years. It dry's very fast, sticks to ANY finish on any shaft without cleaning, stays pliable and scrapes off with ease. I will never use another glue, unless they go under of course! I used Fletch Tite for too long!!!!

LP,

I am using carbons. I was considering beyond bond, but since its sets fast, I was concerned with how difficult it would be to scrape off.

Pearl,

How does it take to set?

Z I rotate feathers every 10 minutes no matter the finish or material, and its in my basement with high humidity and lower temps, like 60-65 ish?

Zmonster,You don't have to use the spray hardener.You can just use the glue,and with a fletching stripper it comes of clean then a light brush with brass wool or steel and your good.
