Securing fletching thread

<< < (6/6)

Stefan:
Another good idea from lostarrow. On compounds we sometimes used to check clearence with baby powder..

lostarrow:
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooo,  did you just say the "C" word?          Hahahahaha. All joking aside , it's a method used for everything from timberframing to gunsmithing.Wish I could take credit but some clever Neanderthal probably came up with it first.

cdpbrewer:
I just wrap the forward end of fletching and favor fishing rod wrapping thread.  I use nylon size E and a coating or two of Duco smeared on with my finger.  Duco will change the color of the thread a bit.  If that bothers you, there are threads which do not change color when a solvent type finish is applied.   I never had much luck getting CA glue to give a good finish- it gives a dusty white kind of finish to the wrap.
