Super glue is all I use anymore. It is a lot faster so you don't have to wait 30 minutes to release the clamps.

Yeah, must be a shortage of the stuff, I was looking for it myself and none to be found anywhere. I ended up buying some titebond (instant bond) and it seems to work ok. First I had seen the stuff, although hadn't really been looking for any alternatives until I was forced to with the shortage of Duco.

  I had the same problem.  I went to the supermarket, Walgreen's, Wallyworld, and finally a dollar store, but no Duco, I ended up getting a tube of similar stuff from Wally world, and dollar store.  So I have two tubes, it works like Ducco.  I was using super glue, and it ran, and then tried the gel, it was better, but still made a mess, so I had to strip the arrow, a couple of times, refinish the arrow, and cut new fletching, and this time used the dollar store stuff, and it worked great.  I was making two arrows for a Friend of mine who's boss had prostate cancer, so I made two arrows, this one with triple fletch, and one with Mullet's help a Cherokee two fletch.  Eddie gave me a couple of artifacts, he had found, and an arrowhead, he had found in one of the rivers here, and an arrowhead he had made out of Washington jasper or something like that.  Same stuff Ishi used. 8)  Anywho, Ducco is just plain hard to find! :o  I was trying to find a Hobby store, but the one here is gone. :(  But anywho, the Dollar store stuff, and Wallyworld stuff works just as well. ;)

I'll have to stop and see if the duco is still @ the store I buy it.  I like the Gorilla super glue too.  Some super glues doesn't hold up to the cold all that well.  Looks like if they still have duco in the store I buy it I'll have to get a few.  ;) dpgratz
