Lubricants And Adhesives
for Archery Tune-Ups and Arrow Making

Bohning Insert Iron Point and Insert Adhesive

The cool thing about Bohning Insert Iron Adhesive that makes it different from most other adhesives used in arrow making is that it expands quite dramatically as it sets. This expansion locks the insert or point into the shaft with a practically indestructible bond resistant to impact shock and moisture proof.

Insert Iron is also heat reversible, unlike epoxies and cyanoacetates (super glue), so that if you stuff up inserting an arrow component, just warm the shaft over the stove or with a heat gun and the insert or point pops right out.

Each one-ounce (28.5 gram) bottle contains enough Insert Iron to install approximately 100 points or inserts.

Brownell Liquid Lok and Cam EZ Two Pack

CAM EZ from Brownell is a specially formulated lubricant designed to remove the friction and prevent wear on the bow string where the string serving slides over the cams. Cam EZ is a very efficient lube that can be reapplied as needed and works well with any Brownell products and most serving materials from other companies. Cam EZ is not toxic and contains no hazardous materials.

Liquid Lok is formulated to increase the longevity of bowstring serving strings by preventing the separation of servings at the weakest point where the string rolls over cams. Liquid Lok is safe to use on all string-serving material and contains no harmful or hazardous substances. To use Liquid Lok, apply a few drops to the serving area of your string before and after serving it, then wait about a hour before re stringing your bow. Be sure to apply Liquid Lok to your servings before you lubricate them with Cam EZ as it doesn't work after Cam EZ has been applied.

You get a two-ounce drip bottle of each of these great products in this two-pack kit along with a full set of detailed instructions for use.

Bohning Feather-Fletching Tape

Bohning feather-fletching tape works with any single-fletch jig to save time on every arrow you fletch. Bohning fletching tape is a continuous bead of powerful dry glue which you apply like tape. It adheres instantly and creates a strong, reliable bond on contact quickly bonding feathers to arrows made of aluminium, carbon or wood...and your arrow can be shot immediately.

Unlike dangerous liquid instant adhesives, Bohning fletching tape cannot bond flesh or splash into eyes. It is very easily cleaned from any shaft for re-fletching. Each roll contains enough tape for at least 3 1/2 dozen arrows with 5-inch feathers or vanes. Feather-Fletching tape is not recommended for plastic vanes.

Directions: Apply tape to feather quill. Trim with scissors, leave 1/8" overhang on each end. Remove tape backing. Press feather firmly onto arrow shaft. Make sure base fully contacts shaft.

Fletch-Tite Platinum

Fletch-Tite Platinum is a reformulated version of the original Fletch-Tite Fletching Cement that has been the industry leader for decades.

This is the choice of the majority of professional fletchers and the one we use on our arrow bench for most of our custom arrows. Works great on all shafts and bonds feathers, vanes and nocks to aluminium, wood, carbon and fiberglass ; and it is waterproof. Comes in a handy 22gr tube, which is enough to fletch several dozen shafts.

Bohning Instant Gel

Bohning Instant Gel is the recommended cyanoacetate fletching cement for carbon shafts. Also works for gluing nocks and fletching to all other types of shafts, aluminium, wood, and fibreglass. Available in 3 gram tubes.

Duraloc Fletching Cement

Duraloc Fletching Cement is the cyanoacetate (super glue) adhesive that Norway Industries recommends for their Duravanes. Works just as well on most other brands as well. Use sparingly. A three-gram tube should do about three dozen arrows.

Fastset Gel Fletching Cement

Fastset Gel is a product of Arizona Archery Supplies and will work equally well on aluminium, wood, or carbon shafts.

Fastset Gel is particularly recommended for attaching Z-Nocks to aluminium and wood shafts as regular Fletch-Tite types of glues can soften the plastic. Comes in a three-gram tube. This is a cyanoacetate so it dries in seconds.

Ferr-L-Tite Hot-Melt Adhesive

Ferr-L-Tite Hot-Melt Adhesive is used by arrow makers everywhere for gluing inserts into alloy shafts and points on to wood shafts. Produces a tough, elastic, water-proof bond.

Don't get Ferr-L-Tite confused with the standard hot-melt glue that you get at Miter 10 or at the timber yard. This stuff is much tougher, melts at a higher temperature, and it retains a degree of flexibility so it doesn't shatter on impact.

Martin Fletching Cement

Martin Fletching Cement is a crystal clear glue from Martin Archery is excellent for all types of arrow shafts. it is fast drying, waterproof, and resistant to most solvents.

Martin Fletching Cement is also a general-purpose adhesive suitable for gluing nocks to shafts and for a hundred other gluing jobs around you shop and home. Martin Fletching Cement is preferred by many traditional arrow smiths for fastening feathers onto wood shafts as it will not lift the finish of your shafts like most other fletching glues will. This item replaces Duco Cement, which is no longer available through our normal suppliers.

Odor-Free Lubricant

If you go to all the trouble to de-scent your hunting clothing and yourself, it doesn't make much sense to tramp through the bush carrying a stinky bow. Not only is Odor-Free odour free, it is also an excellent highly refined lubricant suitable for use on your cam bushings and axles, limb pockets and on your expensive release aid.

Odor-Free Lubricant comes in a handy 1 1/2 oz applicator bottle, just the right size so that you can have an extra bottle in your hunting or range kit.

Tri-Flow Teflon Lubricant

Tri-Flow Teflon Lubricant provides double the lubrication of most other non-grease lubricants. It has a very light viscosity that penetrates deep into hard to reach moving parts like cam bushings and limb pockets. It is formulated from high-grade petroleum oils to provide max lubrication in environments of high temperature and humidity while it softens dirt and flushes away contaminants. Try-Flow will also displace moisture and prevent rust and corrosion.

We use this Teflon lubricant in the shop any time we work on a customer's bow. It is great for axles and wheels as it is a permanent lubricant that won't dry out. Comes in a handy 2 oz applicator with a long extension tube for reaching into difficult places.

Tri-Flow Teflon Lubricant Spray

This is the same effective and waterproof lubricant as above in a handy 4 oz spray can. Just the thing for misting and cleaning cams and releases.
