CA for fletching
« on: April 27, 2014, 04:46:47 pm »
I just made a half dozen arrows and used CA to glue the feathers on. I made a jig that would hold the feathers in position and just three drops of CA and they were instantly glued. Three feathers on in less than a minute. Then I wrapped front and back with thread and sealed it with CA. Is this going to come back and bite me somehow? They seem solid.

................... :laugh:   funny how one gets into research.  Every day I look at bows and arrows online.   I just find bows to be works of art with hundreds of variations its enough to make your head spin.
That fletching jig looks great.  Hope to see your new bow & arrows soon.

I use it with a spray accelerator.

 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

I used superthin. No accelerator. Glued the feathers as fast as it glues fingers.
