I was just wondering what glue and arrow prep everyone is using when fletching arrows with Blazers?? I have been having a little issue with some vanes falling off. I have been cleaning my arrows with acetone and someone told me that, that may be my problem. He reccomended using dish soap??...??? Any feedback will be appreciated. Thanks.
 
I use Fletch Tite that is designed for carbon/graphite shafts. I also use arrow wraps and once in a great while one will come off the wrap.

Ive got a tube of fletch tite platinum that didnt work worth a crap for me. Bought some Goat tuff and never looked back /forum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/cool.gif
 
Bohning Quantum XT. Dabbled with goat tuff this year but went back to Quantum XT. Goat Tuff will work fine but XT is the toughest I've found.
 
My wife and I always clean shafts with AJAX first then rinse in HOT water and use Goat Tuf. The type of jig your using may be the problem. What are you using? Arrow wraps have definately increased our success rates.
 
I lightly sand carbons where the fletching will adhere with something in the neighborhood of 220 grit. Then use acetone, then WIPE OFF THE AREA WITH A CLEAN PAPER TOWEL. I've found that acetone takes off junk but still leaves it's own little haze that needs removed. I had problems until I started doing this. I glue with FT Platinum.

If you use arrow wraps, I have found that you can save your money by not buying all the fancy glues made by the vane companies--just use any of the gel super glues out there. It's alot cheaper if you're only doing a dozen arrows or so. In side by side tests with Bohning Fletch Tite Platinum, I couldn't see a difference. By the way, I use Blazer vanes.
