I have been using fletching tape on trueflight feathers and Goldtip shafts. Last summer was my first attempt and seems to be working fairly well except at the tail end of the fletch. At the end it' s not holding down tight. One shop I went to said it is giving me erratic flight.
So, next time to refletch I want to do it right. Which adhesive is the best for feather fletching and carbon shafts. I may also use cresting, like the eze crest wraps. I don' t know if that would make a difference or not. Thanks for your imput.

I personally think Goat Tuff is the best of the best. It is a cynoacrylic(sp) super glue type. For carbon shafts You apply a thin bead, stick to shaft, count to 10 and go to the next vane. Very fast and Very strong. You will tear the vane before you break the bond with the shaft. They also offer a decelerater for refletching. You dip your shaft in the solution and in a matter of seconds take it out and wipe the vanes off. No scraping or sanding required.

I use martin archery glue. I think its better than fletch tite. I hear goat tuff is good glue, but havent tried it. I use feathers mostly and vanes sometimes, and when i fletch them, let them dry overnight. I' ve shot through hay bails and broad head targets, it messes up the fletching, but they do not come off
