I think C903 hit the nail on the head. I was hunting Thur. and didn't touch my arrows other than to put them in quiver. Rained like I don't know what and the fletching started coming off when they were drying. I am going to try a different type of glue and see what happens.
As far as being clean, I rubbed the shafts down with alcohol, scuffed the surface with 600 grit sandpaper and then used the prep solution that you soak the shaft in for 5-7 min, then ran hot water over it to wash it off. let them dry over night and then fletched them in the morning. Used the q-tip had some pretty good looking vanes and when they got wet, they fell off. So I will prep the shafts again and try a different type of glue.
Thanks for all the ideas and suggestions.
