Default Trouble Fletching Right off-set

I have a little fletching jig that I have used over the years. It has worked well on fletching straight vanes, but when I try to off-set right the vanes, I am having trouble making the vanes stay on the arrow. They seem to start peeling off most of the arrows after 15 shots or so...it drives me nuts! I am using Fletchtite and wait 24 hours after applying the vanes before I shoot them. Another thing, when I use "standard" vanes you know the cheapy kind, they seem to apply better than when I use Quickspin 4 inch vanes. Those are absolutely the worst for me to apply.

Any suggestions or advice would be really appreciated.

Not usre about them, but maybe you have to clean the base of the vanes. Also, with Quick Spins, because of the little kicker on the back you can cut down on the amount of offset.

BG--maybe with the off-set right, I am putting too much pressure on the QS vanes that already have that kicker? Thanks.
