Works wonders on fletching, and also on wrappings.

I use the liquid loctite super glue on fletchings, I tried the gel super glue, but it didn't work too well for me. The liquid stuff works great, cures in seconds.
PortlandJoe:
fletch-tite for the fletching, TBIII on the whipping, then a blend of tru-oil and linseed oil treats the rest of the shaft.

Whats up Joe! Will be sure to check out fletch-tite. Does mixing linseed oil and tru oil make a nice result? I have thought of doing similar things...

I have also started using the bohnings double sided tape for the fletches. No issue so far.

fletch-tite is the jam! and mixing the two oils make them go a hell of alot farther. plus you i never give it more than 1 coat and it's great. my hunting arrows though get a nice coat of Otter-Wax. it's made up here in portland and it's intended purpose is for canvas, wool, and leather water-proofing but it's amazing on wood.
