I've never had fletchings come loose.<br />I usually give 'em half an hour! But these longer fletches and the hot weather 10 mins is fine. It doesn't worry me too much as I get with other stuff and just do one when I next think of it. It was really just an illustration of how time adds up when you have lots of little jobs.<br />I didn't want to risk changing what works. I've found superglues can be great for some jobs and hopeless for others. I certainly wasn't going to spend ages putting thread round the flights...that would drive me bonkers.<br />A big tube of UHU from poundland lasts for years an is handy for leather work and paper or card too.Derekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07654835987876553254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5493681473159888383.post-83931714763488570862013-07-20T22:49:51.402+01:002013-07-20T22:49:51.402+01:00I absolutely love those tool handles, especially t...I absolutely love those tool handles, especially the yew!<br /><br />Out of interest, what glue are you using for fletching? 10Min per feather seems like a crazy long time, considering that using superglue I can fletch a whole arrow in just under a minute. I've no doubt you have your reasons for the materials you use - you're no newbie! - but I'd be interested in hearing what potentially puts you off using faster setting glue? Is it just a reliability factor?Willnoreply@blogger.com
