Default Blazer Vane Help

I bought some of the Blazer vanes a while back and shot them for a while and really liked them. Very accurate and durable. Problem is, I can not for life of me get them to stick consistantly.

I tried using 3 different glues, all of which are the instant types. AAE fast set, Bohning XT and a regular run of the mill super glue. None of which seems to work for me.

I rough up my shafts with fine sandpaper, clean with denatured alchohol, let dry over night and fletch. With other vanes like AAE's, Bohning vanes and such, you can't pull them off. You have to cut them off. But the Blazers usually fall off by themselves.

I quit using them for a while, but decided to give them another try because I really do like them. What i have been noticing is that the glue sticks very well to the shaft, just not the vane itself. Could I have gotten a couple packs of duds? They seem very stiff, but its my understanding that thats the way they are.

Any insight would be greatly, greatly appreciated.
