Im not here to bash any certain products, because I know they work. I guess my fletching glue was just a bit too old..(1yr)? I fletched up 18 arrows yesterday, just to go back tonight and find that on every arrow the glue is not holding up on them! Now I get to go back and strip 18 wraps/fletchings and start over with some new glue...grrrrr it sucks! The sad part about it was when I was using the glue "something" told me the glue was'nt flowing exactly perfect!
feathers and feather fletch tape. no fuss, no muss and the feathers stay on even when pulled through a bag target but you can clean the tape off simply by rubbing it off with your thumb. They are ready for use as soon as they are fletched
take you arrows put a field point in grab a drill and some 1000 grit sand paper chuck you arrow in your drill by field point and sand you arrow from nock up like 4 inchs real light and then clean with some good cleaner. stick like a mofo!!
i had some glue that was a couple years old and i couldnt figure out why my vanes wouldnt hold lol, after a dozen arrows i ran out of that glue and bought some new and they held.... simple fix that was overlooked. lol
Also had it happen to me a couple years back.. got some brand new shafts, put on some nice wraps then fletched 1 dozen arrows with blazers while using old glue... every shot a fletch would fall off, if I pushed a fletch sideways on the shaft it would crack & fall off..... Made me mad as hell lol.
