use less glue on the fletching.

I don't clean up anything that squeezes out...it just gets used to assist in bonding.

Try Fletching tape, it's a lot quicker and there's no mess. I can fletch a dozen arrows in less than a hour. Takes a little practice but its easy.

Use gel type glue a couple drops goes a long way and spread with a tooth pick.

Second the tape

Bohning is the type I use.

I find it a little tricky when fletching feathers with a helical twist.

I still use Fletch-Tite Platinum and like others said, don't use too much glue. With my Bitz there is a little smear on the front half of the arrow just from the way the helical clamped feather mates with the shaft. A q-tip wipes it right off.

I want my feathers glued on relatively neat, but I also never want them to come off. There's a happy medium between too much and to little glue in my opinion. To much is a mess, too little doesn't give a good seal and mate of the quill to the shaft.

Yup I use Bohning Fletching tape. Best stuff for fletching anything I think. Easy to apply, remove, works on all shaft materials and finishes.

Think I'll give the tape a try... much easier than I'd thought.
