Fletch tape can be tough to work with especially when vision or dexterity is impaired (for whatever reason). This technique makes it easier and faster to apply fletching tape.

Here is a short video that shows the technique.

Nice!

Can't wait to try it. Just the ticket for us fumble fingered geezers.

I will have to give that a try.

Thanks!

Never thought of doing it that way. Definitely going to give that a try.

Pretty cool way to do it! I'm wondering how difficult it is to see where the sticky starts when laying the roll on the fletch. Much quiker than my technique.

That looks easier than what I do!.....stabow

I will definitely try that.  Thank you for that.

I like it !  Thanx

cool video- I like to drag my finger nail across the tape and quill when I do mine just to make "sure" it sticks good.

Thank You! I needed this technic bad as the focal of my eyes doesn't match the length of my arms . Good job on the vedio. Maxx

I found a trick that makes fletch tape an absolute pleasure, although that video is a great idea also.
I found that using a very small set of spring-loaded dikes/wire cutters are the best tool.  After you apply the tape to the feather, you can trim the ends with the dikes.  If you apply light pressure, you will feel the dikes actually pop through the tape portion, but will not cut through the plastic tape backing.  It's great.  You can snip the tape on any angle (to match the front end portion of the feather), then, keeping the dikes closed, just turn the dikes toward the feather and pull, and it will remove the backing (since it only cut through the tape, and not the backing).  After a few tries, you get the feel for how much pressure you can use, and you're all set.

That's pretty slick right there!

I'll give it a try.  Thanks!

I thought using the tape was quick before, this just cut my time in half, thansk, J  

I might have to give tape another try. My fat fingers didn't do well with it My first try. ( No patience ) Seeing this makes it look simple. Thanks
