I have a sticky situation or maybe not sticky enough
I have been re fletching some arrows and am not satisfied with the glue I have been using (Bohning Fletch Tite Platinum). It holds up for a while but inevitably an edge will de bond from the arrow shaft and then the whole vane will come off. I notice that the factory glue (Carbon Force Bowmadness 300 arrows) I have to scrape off when re doing an arrow is a lot harder than my glue when I have to scrape that off for a redo.
My big "BLOCK" target is the reason for my repairs as it is not that good at stopping my arrows. A straw bale behind it is helping.
Another area where I am having adhesive troubles are my inserts. I have used 5min epoxy and the glue mentioned above and they both fail on occasion, especially if I am pulling a practice broadhead out of the target.
What glues are you guys using?
