I read on their FAQ's to use gel super glue for vanes,but they didn't mention feathers. Does anybody have any experience they could pass on?
Thanks

I use Bohning Platinum and I clean them with91% alcohol prior to applying feathers. You want to clean shaft good prior to applying wraps too.

I use Bohning Platinum on wraps as well.

I have used the platinum with good results but my last fletching job I used the beyond bond from three rivers. It was a little thicker and I liked it better.

Fletching some up right now. After a little trial and error I may be settled on Loctite Super Glue....the Ultra Gel Control variety.

Very clean to work with, and they set up way faster than the Bohning Platinum.

Only worry with the super glue is how well and durable it will be. The platinum will take a licking and doe's great in wet conditions.

Great product!

I use Platinum most of the time, but if in a bit of a hurry I've used gel super glues without any problems.

I don't clean them with anything...just roll them on and glue the feathers   :thumbsup:

I have been using the Gorilla super glue. Sets up quick and I haven't had any problems with it.

Onestringer web site says Loctite superglue gel. Works good for me.

I only use NPV now. I haven't found anything that works better and I have tried most of them.

Good luck

Where do you get NPv

I used gorilla super glue slow set worked great

Use Bohning fletching tape, put a drop of the loctite super glue gel on each end and you're good to go.  In my rarely humble opinion, fletching with blue, whether on wraps or bare shaft, sucks.
Don't meddle in the affairs of dragons; people are crunchy and taste good with ketchup.
