Default RE: What fletching glue do you recommend?

I work in a Archery Pro Shop so I fletch hundreds of arrows and I find the Tech Loc by Vane Tec, Duro Loc and Fletch Tite Platinum all work well. I no longer lay down a bead of glue all the way down the vane... I will place 8 tiny drops of glue down a 4" vane and then spread it thinly over the entire vane channel using the glue nozzle tip side ( laying the nozzle down flat sideways running it horizontal with the vane channel )using consistant pressure over the entire vane channel and the glue nozzle will pick up the excess glue off the vane . I place the vane on the arrow shaft and after pressing down firmly the excess glue will ooze out from under the vane, I will remove the small excess glue from the shaft by wiping off with a Q-Tip, I roll the Q-Tip in my fingers down the edge of the vane ,just dont wipe off upwards towards the vane or you may glue the vane to the fletching clamp.
Keep in mind that if you use a fast set glue such as Goat Tuff, Tech Loc or Duro Loc they are much harder to remove from the shaft in the future when you need to or want to refletch but they hold the vane to the shaft extremely well, the Fletch Tite Platinum will be much easyier to remove.
