I have not fletched in years. I used to do all my arrows for hunting back in the day. I'm going to revive the archery box containing all my arrow building stuff, to do my crossbow arrows. Since I was doing arrows before, I see many changes in arrow building supplies. In this day and age, what is the preferred glue now for fletching? I'll probably use vanes for my crossbow. Haven't decided what style or size.

I use fletch-Tite Platinum works good on carbon and aluminum. I have used it for years & years.

Best fletching glue?
The only glue I’ve tried is from Bohning. Glue is fine, but the dispenser clogs up to where it is virtually unusable. What you got CB Nation?

I have used Saunders NPV Glue,since Buck was a Calf. Never had problem with any fletching .IMO you cant buy better.
gorilla gel works nice, not the cheapest or the best but keeps em attached to shaft

works lot better than non gel gorilla

Gorilla gel superglue is the best I’ve tried, and the only thing that’s consistently held vanes to my aluminum shafts.
Superglue gel, since the cheapest thing you get and it holds is enough. If the vanes and shafts are well degreased, this is completely sufficient.
Gorilla glue gel is all we use on my dads crossbow arrows, my crossbow arrows when they arrive and it's all I have used for atleast the last 4 years on my vertical compound bow arrows.
I give the shaft a lil scrap to get as much of the old glue off and then get to fletching, I dont clean the shaft at all.
Never tryed aluminium, we only use carbon arrows.

parfix. 3422 strongest glue tried. Bury vanes in target and pull back out intact. Combined with heat vanes, most durable setup ever used.
I found that Saunders NPV does a better job than Fletch-Tite. It stays flexible and over time, the Fletch-tite does seem to loose its strength. NPV does take longer to set. It you are really in a rush, add a tiny drop of super glue to the ends of the fletch and set the clamp in the jig.
Regardless of the type, glues have a shelflife once you open the container. I the glue seems to be a bit thicker than you remember, then it is going bad and will not hold as well.
