Anyone tried this yet? A number of companies are starting to sell it. The one advantage over super glue is it doesn't kick off until it's hit with the UV light. No more gluing fingers to everything. Clean up with alcohol before activation.

Might work on fletches, but you wouldn't be able to hit the glue with the UV bream inside the shaft to secure the insert.

Might work OK, but I've never been in such a hurry to fletch the next arrow that I can't wait 15 minutes for Fletch-Tite to cure.
If you're fletching arrows for a living, however, then the UV method might be a good way to go.

Wait a week or so and you will find it at Walgreens in the (As seen on TV) section.

Been using it for years to make trout flies. Works great, better if you have a little UV flashlight for the first cure, followed by a final cure in the sunshine. They sell specialized UV flashlights in fly shops.
I haven't tried it for fletching, though. Not sure why it wouldn't work just fine.
