Home Depot Garden Stake Bamboo Arrow Build-A-Long (Pic Heavy)
jeffp51:
superglue together with some instaset works great for me when fletching. cut one, glue one. Cut one, glue one. Once they are all on, wrap em top and bottom.
DC:
When I went on the Ravenbeak arrow building workshop Jamie taught me a neat trick. He dampens a small rag with the CA accelerator and wipes the fletching area of the arrow. Clamp the fletch in the clamp and apply a bit of CA to it. Then when you slip the clamp into the jig and it hits the arrow the CA goes off immediately. No waiting. Just for those of us that find waiting for CA to set is just tooooo long ;D ;D ;D.
loon:
bought tape, hopefully fletching by hand w/o a clamp won't be too hard.. ..
Urufu_Shinjiro:
I'd just use the tape with the clap for ease of alignment. Just like DCs example above, you should be able to clamp the fletch, tape it, put the clamp home in the jig and bam, move to the next one.
loon:
what jig? ..
Maybe I'll try making one some day
