One thing I didn't hear you say, was prepping your shafts and vanes.. I use 400 grit sand paper or some steel wool, then clean them with alcohol and then wipe off dry with a clean cloth.. I scuff the vane with my dremel tool or sand paper, and never had a problem.. I use Martin fletching glue or Bohning Fletch Tite and no problems.
Yepper, I use steel wool and hot water on shaft then rinse it with hot water for awhile, and make sure you dont touch the area with your hand. Then I use like 90% alcohol and let it evaporate. Then I wrap the arrow and then clean the wrap with alcohol. Then as someone said a small strip of glue, then wait a couple minutes, sometimes 5 to make sure it sets.....guess I could go faster, but no hurry. Then rotate and next fletch and then wait, then last. After I remove it from the jig, dab at end of each tip to ensure no peel offs and set to go. Haven't had one come off yet! [8D]
