Using tung oil as an arrow finish

Hi all
How well does tung oil work for finishing arrows? My preliminary tests look pretty promising for putting fletching on with duco cement and fletch tite. Is there anything I need to watch for?
I think my main concern was whether the fletching would actually stick well on a tung oil finished wood shaft.

I can’t speak for those products but tung oil is damaged and marked by water, and most adhesives tend to stick poorly to any form of oil residue . I suggest sticking a fletching onto an oiled arrow off-cut and seeing how you go.
