Gorilla Blue for Fletching

On page 30 of the July issue of the American Hunter magazine it mentions under "gearing up" that Gorilla glue makes a good fletching cement. Has anyone tried this? I've used Gorilla glue and it seems kind of thick to use for fletching.

I'm tired of buying a tube of fletching cement to fletch a few arrows then have the glue harden up by the time I need it again.

There are two types of gorilla glue. One is the foaming type that is a urathane base glue. Don't use it for fletching. The other type is a white glue that is similar to crazy glue. That is the type they must be using for fletching.

I would believe that once opened it will dry up also if not sealed properly.

Thanks for the tips. I didn't know there were two types of Gorilla glue. I'm only familiar with the regular type and didn't know they also make a "super glue" type. The author of the article should have been a more specific.

I've tried just about every glue for fletching made over the years an right now I'm trying Maxium @$6.99/bottle from Lancaster Archery...and it works no better on carbon than the $1.75 for 2 tubes of Crazy Glue which fletches 2 dz shafts an throw away what's left.
