Spral wrapping fletch?

<< < (5/8) > >>

Pat,  I like that fletch tape but I can't walk through my kitchen anymore without a little piece of red tape sticking to me. 

I once bit the tip of a super glue bottle (while sqeezing it) to dislodge the clog in the tip.  It took about three hours to get the super glue off my teeth.  Actually, I wonder if I ever did.  Also, I stuck a bottle of super glue in my pocket and glued my pants firmly to my leg.  Not a glue for the faint of heart!

Heya

the best thing I have found to wrap your fletching is nylon upholstery thread. it looks like silk and is tough as nails. I make and sell arrows for a living and this is what I use. I have had complains about every other string I have used but this stuff, it is light, strong and just plain works.

I know a place nearby that deals in re-upholstering and I can get any color I like for cheap.

Primitive1:
Is upholstery thread something you might come across at a Michaels or Walmart or Garden Ridge? 

ragi:
you might but I dont know, I am in Montreal Canada and what is available in our stores is not always whats available in yours.

I suggest you find someplace in your area that deals with upholsterers. I know of a few places locally that do wholesale supplies for them. thats where I get my spools.
