| hey all, iam currently using a bitzenburger arrow fletcher, with steel force glue and glue fast dry spray. maybe its me but for each fletching i still have to allow at least 3-5 minutes to dry, when its supposed to be dry in seconds. im fairly new to fletching so i can use some guidance here. i would like to know what supplies; types and brands that i should pick up to have a complete set. i shoot carbon arrows with 4'' feathers. and is there a web site that i can get a kit from? as always any input and advice is greatly appreciated. thanks.

| On the rare occasion I fletch my own arrows I use goat tuff glue a bohning gig. The glue dries pretty quick. I myself can't stand fletching my own arrows. Don't know why, just don't have the patience for it. | |

| I do my own fletching, i use a bitz. the adhesive i use is EASTON quick bond adhesive, it's almost an instant bond. I put the glue on the fletching, put the clamp on the arrow put a little force (not much) on the clamp,about 20 sec. or so then remove the clamp. It's done. Have never had a problem. If you need to, shoot me a PM. and i'll help you out. Be glad to. Hope this helps. | |

I have never used any type of accelorator. Bohning also makes a really nice fast set glue. | |
