Default Fletching Blazers

I just picked up a Butzenberger jig with a right helical clamp, finally! I picked up some 2" Blazers and picked up some Fletchtight.

Question #1:

When I set the offset on the jig for my GT arrows, I left the top offset notch at 0. The bottom offset notch was moved to the right for what seemed to be the best fletch contact with the arrow. For some reason, my head is telling me it sould have been moved to the left for the right helical to work better ie: spin the arrow.

Is my head not on target here or is moving the bottom offset to the right correct? From things I have read about fletching, you play until you get good fletch contact with the arrow.

2nd Qustion:

I fletched a half dozen GT arrows and have been shooting them for about three weeks with the Blazers and have had great results with them. When Ipurchased theglue, I was in a hurry and picked up Bohnings Fletchtight in the white tube. After fletching up the arrows, I noticed on the tube it said "not recomended for carbon/graphite arrows.

My question is, why isBohnings Fletchtight in white tubenot recomemnded for carbons? The Blazers seem to have adhered really well with it and are stuck on tight, no problems in three weeks. Am I going to have a heck of a time cleaning/removing the glue from thearrows the next time they need to be fletched?

Thanks everyone.

Chris
