Spral wrapping fletch?
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.

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.

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.
