arrow fletching
« on: December 29, 2009, 06:22:48 PM »
started fletching my own arrows when i got my bow (fun, kinda like reloading  :) ) and Ive got it down pretty good other than it looks like a 2 year old put the glue on every time no matter how careful i am i get that white residue all around my vanes. using goat tuff glue with quick spin vanes. i clean um up with alcohol after the fact but its annoying. am i just using to much glue or is this kinda normal?
No people will tamely surrender their Liberties, nor can any be easily subdued, when knowledge is diffused and Virtue is preserved. On the Contrary, when People are universally ignorant, and debauched in their Manners, they will sink under their own weight without the Aid of foreign Invaders.

Try holding the applicator at a steeper angle to the base of the vane, and only put on a thin layer of the glue. 
Hunt hard and shoot straight!

I had the same trouble with goat tuff. I went back to fletch-tite, fletch tite is good for wood, aluminum, and carbon, not as fast drying, 15 min in the jig.
