Pine Ridge, Bohning Quantum XT, and super glue. Quantum XT and Pine Ridge are my favorite....

With the Platinum I've found you need to make sure the whole vane base has glue on it before attaching and make sure you hold for 10-15 sec.

Also, make sure to use acetone on the shafts before gluing. It should help bond better.

Check for rest contact if you are using anything but a WB.

I also use Goat Tuff and since it's basically super glue the stuff bonds pretty much right away.

90% of the fletching I do is on wraps. I always use Fletchtite Platinum and it has performed flawless for me

I've tried all the "archery" super glues I could find, and this has turned out to be the best for me:

AAE Fastset Gel. It stays where you put it and bonds in a few seconds.
It works great for me.

I use AAE Fastset Gel. Works great. After I attach my Blazer vane to the arrow I count to ten, it's there for good
