Which of the fletching glues work the best for aluminum arrows ? I have heard that Fletch Tite is no good any more .
Saunders NVP works well for me. Just make sure your shafts are prepped well. Rumor has it that Fletch Tite Platinum came out with a new formula.
I have good luck with a thick CA glue that I get from the Grizzly wood working store.
Saunders..pretty good stuff.

I've been using fastset gel. anyone else tried this
I like fletch tape and glue the feather ends.
tape
If you crown dip/spray paint your shaft, shaft material is irrelevant. You need a glue to stick to the paint. If you don't, why not? If you're making arrows, make them pretty. That said, I like fletch tape with a drop of glue on each end also. Fletch-tite has never failed me, though I do rebuild my arrows after about two years worth of shooting. This process let's you make arrows without waiting for glue to dry using just a single fletching jig. (In my case a Bitz, and one Bitz is a lot cheaper than six!)
Gorilla glue works for me, sets up quickly and remains bonded even on pass through shots on backstop for those occasional oops shots. :thumbsup:
What about Duco? Has anyone tried this fletching glue to aluminum?
I use fletch-tite and have had no problems.I just wish it dried faster.
I usually wrap my aluminums and use super glue.
Duco works great on G/T Trad carbons, don't know about aluminums.
Used Duco this week to fletch a half dozen 2016's. Works just fine.
I am of course, talking about fletching directly to the aluminum arrow, NOT a wrap or dip. Fletch tite platinum like others here, I discovered does not work directly to aluminum worth a flip.
Saunders has worked great for me on aluminum and wood (on finish) for years.
Cool deal.
The feathers let go today on the aluminums I fletched 4 days ago with Duco. Back to the jig with NPV to see if that'll hold on some Legacies.
I use the tape also, and glue the ends. Works extremely well.
We use Saunders NPV
easton instant works well for me. platinum isn't worth a nickel!

That's all I shoot is aluminum and have been using the tape since it came out never a problem. :thumbsup:
Saunders NPV,never have had a problem with it,nor have any of my friends that use it.
