RE: Residue on Arrows???
It does happen to everybody to one degree or another.
The best answer I can give you is "More glue = more residue"
I normally meter the glue on the bottom of the vane by putting a bead down the base then dabbing it on a paper towel before setting it on the arrow shaft. This spreads the glue out as well as removes any extra. It also minimizes the quantity of residue afterwards.
