I don't use glue anymore, all I use now it the fletching tape. It is a little expensive but I can fletch a arrow in less than 5 minutes. There is no drying time, I don't know how it would work on plastic vanes for all I use are feathers. :D

I am also using the AAE speed set gel.
Its really good. And it's fast to fletch the bolts with this glue. It's almost
instantly.

I am using it with the martin j8 fletcher and nock adaptors on the bolts.

I have tried a few other cements over the years, but always end up switching back to the one I have used for years - Fletch-Tite!

I use Bohning Premium Feather Fletching Tape with feathers. Works great and has no dry time. It only works on feathers. Fletch-Tite on vanes. Never had a prolbem.

What do you need to use with the Bitzenburger jig for crossbow bolts with the flat nock?
