Default Fletching help?????

Guys, I have always hated doing fletchings on carbons. Hated it. I can do ok on aluminums, and carbons that are a little rough to begin with like beman hawks, but on ICS's or my new black max, I can't get much to come out good.

First off I am trying to put NAP quick spins on it, which I know are very stiff to begin with. Here is my procedure.

600grit very light sandpaper to fletch areas
91% alcohol used to clean off all junk and oil
91% alcohol lightly rubed on fletchings
Use Goattuff on fletches
Use Arizona ez fletch
30 seconds, take arrow out (might be too short but I have a serious patience issue)
Let dry overnight, shoot next day

I notice I am not getting ahesion in the middle of the vanes very well. Mabye goattuff is to brittle for NAP quick spins?

Any tips? I need em. Any suggested glue. I used to use bondtite, I think which was a bohning product for carbons. But it was the Worst. I have some AAe fast gel, but thinking it may be too brittle like goattuff.
