Default Best glue for vanes ?

Im currently using Tim's Goat Tuff and have not been impressed with the setup time, does anyone know another instant glue that sets quick and holds well, how does standard super glue work? Im using GoldTip shafts and Bohning Blazer vanes.
Thank you
BD

I personally have not had any problems with the goat tuff. It has worked great on my quick spins. The guy here at my local proshop swears by Beyond Bond. It's a little pricey, but I may give it a try next go around just for the heck of it.

The only problem i have with GOAT TUFF is getting the old fletchings scraped off. What type of fletching jig you using? I have a Arizona carbon fletcher and had problems when i glued all three then clamped them shut. I think the glue was setting up to fast ,so i started fletching them one at a time and haven't had a problem since.

I have been using Ballistic Archery's "Beyond Bond" and it has been doing well for holding my Bohning Blazer Vanes on my arrows.

Im using a Bitzenburger, I find if I put the glue on real thin it sets quick but may end up with voids and If I put it on a little heavier so that glues slightly runs out from the sides of the vane sometimes when I pull it out of the jig even after a minute or so the glue will not have set.
Thanks

Are you cleaning the vanes? IME Bohnings require a good scrubbing with Isopropyl Alcohol.

And I'll third the Beyond Bond..best instant I've used. Not as brittle as most.

The Bohning Blazer package says not to clean as they apply a primer, but after hearing the positive responses about Beyond Bond I think I'll go with that.
Thanks again to all
