Bob Smith Industries Maxi-cure with there Insta set. Apply glue to vane then one pump of spray on the shaft and set fletch. Instantly bonded right then.What glues have u all had the best success with...
Same here. No complaints at all. I also use a BlitzI've been using gel gorilla glue (that states impact resistant)
Use a knife blade to prick the end of the tape. Comes right up.This is my first year with tape. Seems okay so far. Its a little bit of a challenge for me to get the backing off but I'm getting better at it.
One thing to get use to is the tape is instant, not like glue. Make sure the fletch is perfectly placed before you make contact with the shaft.

Utube amazing blaze....look for the guy in the overallsSounds like a Big Johnston tee shirt if you remember them!!!! LOL
I just started arrow building with a bitzenburger and it's really easy. I wrapped and fletched up a few arrows tonight and got about 10 shots in. First time using a four fletch configuration. I really like not worrying about a cock fletch and they seem to fly really well.
Hey Tom, I just wanted to share a tip that's been working for me as far as the tape backing is concerned. I found that after the tape has been applied to the feather and cut to length instead of trying to peel the backing off from the ends try using your finger nail to pick it off from the side near one of the ends. It seems easier to separate the tape from the backing from the side. Hope this helps.This is my first year with tape. Seems okay so far.

I've been using a utility knife blade to pick at the backing. It's working okay. Everything is a trade off. I'm faster with glue than with the tape, but the tape is instant. I can tape fletch an arrow in 5 minutes and shoot it right away. With glue, I always left it sit over night.Hey Tom, I just wanted to share a tip that's been working for me as far as the tape backing is concerned.

Been shooting taped fletching for years on my traditional setup. Only times I have ever had adhesion issues was if I let the tape get old and or hot and on a couple of arrows that I didnt bother to clean before fletching. Otherwise it had been a very durable method of fletching for me. Have shot them through hay bales, foam targets and even sent one through a small sapling at a 3D shoot without loosing a fletch.I've been using a utility knife blade to pick at the backing.

I'm liking the tape more and more. I doubt that I will ever go back to glue, but let's see if the tape holds as long and is as durable as the glue.
