Thread glue or binding agent?

(1/5) > >>

silberz:
Just started making my arrows and I am wondering what you all are using to coat the thread on your fletches>? I used some fabric/thread glue which seemed to work but has a glossy glue type finish. Any hints?

madcrow:
Usually, I use titebond 3.  I tworks geat and blends in pretty good with the wood.

Pat B:
I use either TBIII or super glue on silk and synthetic thread and pine pitch varnish for sinew.    Pat

I usually use 5 ton epoxy. It dries kinda glossy, but it's pretty tough. I also use it for glueing on points and the dowel inserts in my cane arrows. Lately I have been experimenting with T.B.III and it seems to be working pretty good.

Kegan:
I glue the feathers with Fletch-Tite, but cover the thread with pine pitch.
