Title: Glueing Minwax poly..
Post by: Auzoutdoor on April 21, 2014, 02:34:00 AM
I did do a search but found nothing so my question is.
Will super glue work well with the minwax poly oil base to glue feathers on woods.
Cheers KIM

I was having some real trouble getting feathers to stick with glues that I normally use with wipe on poly so I went to Locktite Ultra Gel Super glue and the problem is solved.

The fletching tape works too.

I use Duco. Just clean the shaft and feather very lightly with mineral spirits first.

Duco has glued hundreds of feathers to minwax oil base for me without a single lost feather.  Once cured, you have to cut and grind the bases off.  I don't know if Duco is available in Australia or not.

Try the super glue and see, it should do fine.

Duco works great-have never had a feather fall off wood.   :archer:

3X: Duco or Bohning fletch tape both work fine.

DUCO is the ticket to success.

I use superglue after sealing with min-wax wipe on poly and I have no adhesion problems.
