Fletching Coming Off...

[outfishin_]

I have had some issues with my fleching coming off when practicing....I fletch my own arrows. I use a cleaner to clean the arrow shafts before glueing on the feathers. Its the power that you add water too made by Bohning.....I have the same problem wheather they are glued right to the shaft or glued to a wrap that has been stuck to the shaft....Could it be from the constent pounding of the arrows hitting the target loosening up the the glue? Its been happening for a few seasons now....Any ideas?

Outfishin, try re-fletching with the new Bohning Fletch-Tite Platinum Adhesive. It is the same kind of glue as the regular fletch tite but has superior performance. I had the same problem for years, until this year with the new glue. Now it is a pain to try to remove the fletching. I think the regular fletch tite has, or had, some inconsistancies in quality.

Hey Out,
May I suggest checking the compatibility of the cleaner and adhesive, cleaner residue may inhibit the bond strength. Also, storage of these products in the same vicinity of one another should be avoided.
