I prefer Krazy Glue Advanced regular (not the gel). I find it works perfectly for me, especially because of the unique applicator tip. I use it for my feathers and my wife's vanes. A lot of people like the gels, but this stuff sets up much faster than the gels IMO. Even though it is not a gel, it does not run.

Krazy glue works just fine...I like any of the rapid setting glues.

I prefer the gels! For me its easier to get it where you want it without it running. I prefer Loc-tite superglue gel. Its relatively cheap and holds up great.

Whitetail,
Ipersonally use bondini superglue gel found at wallyworld, the stuff is awesome, you could fletch a dirty arrow with that stuff and the fletching would stay put..geo

I use fletch tite. It does not cure fast but it holds my feathers really well.I have had some feathers on the ACCs I have for 14 years.

I guess I'm old fashioned. I really don't care for the quick set glues. I use Fletch Tite Platinum

Depends. If I'm glueing directly to the shaft, I use Fletch Tite Platinum. It holds great and strips off fairly easily when I'm ready to re-fletch. If I'm fletching on a wrap, I use Goat-Tuff. It sets quick and holds even better. I tried the Goat Tuff directly on the shaft one time only. It held and held and held... even when I was trying to get the stupid stuff off the shaft to re-fletch. Ended up gouging three of my GT Pro Hunters in the process.
