Spral wrapping fletch?

<< < (6/8) > >>

Primitive1:
Thanks Ragi, I was using actual sinew/hide glue until I tried splitting artificial sinew and using that.  It is holding up in the 'abrasion' and 'strength' factors; though I'm certainly limited in colors.

duffontap:
Ragi--did you see my post from ages ago?  You may have been the professional fletcher I got the idea of using upholstery thread from.  It's perfect.  I can wear it out, but that takes a long time.

ragi:
Uhh no, I just only recently discovered the PA site was unlimited again. I have not been here since they decided to make it subscribers only. do ya have the link? I would love to see stuff written about me. ;)

bamboobender:
I have thought about using 6# spiderwire(dyneema) fishing line. Kinda expensive but it oughta be tough. It's really thin too. anyone ever tried that?

ragi:
yeah it looked like plastic. just ruined the look and is hard to finish off well. better to stick with the nylon thread.
