bigcountry, I'm using quickspins and haven't had any trouble. I use Saunders arrow mate and it has worked well. So well I can hardly get the things off when I need to re-fletch one. I basically use the protocol that you do minus the sanding and I let them sit in the clamp a little longer. Usually 5 mins. The arrow mate doesn't set up real fast but it won't come off and it gives a flexible bond. Have yet to lose a vane to anything other than cutting it with another arrow.
