Default RE: Need advice on Blazers.

I have a half dozen GT XT Hunters fletched up the Blazers, and just got done doing a half dozen Beman ICS Camo Hunters with Blazers as well. I use the Bohning Platinum cement glue and get good adhesion. I scrape the glue off the shafts and clean them with 90% isopropyl alcohol. The adhesion has been really good, just make sure you put a small drop of glue on the ends of the vane and they're fine. I don't think that the Platinum glue adheres the vanes as well and cyanoacrylate (superglue) type adhesives because it creates a softer bond, but I like it because if you ever damage or lose a vane, the remaining adhesive is easy to clean off. CA glues create a harder but more brittle bond that has to be scraped off with a knife.
