I just started fletching my cx terminators and hunters last month. I first use steel wool on the shaft of the arrow where im going to place the vanes then i use rubbing alcohol to clean it. Then I place the arrow in the jig without touching the part i just cleaned. Then I use the alcohol on the part of the vane that adheres to the shaft. I havent had any problems with this combo. I use 5" bohing vanes with 4 degree helical. I beleive I use bond tite by bohing too( carbon arrow adhesive). hope this helps.
