Default RE: Problems Fletching Blasers - pics

Hi guys. I haven't been on in a while and am posting this late in the thread.

There has already been some good info written.
Bigbulls is right. Stop cleaning the Blazers and wraps before you glue. That will solve a lot of your problems and keep the cool skull on the wrap.
Aussie-Guy had a good tip about putting a dab of cement at the front and rear of the vane once it is setup.

I use CE Maxima 250 shafts, the same EZ-Wraps you do with the skull and Blazers. I have a Bitz jig with the right helical clamp and use plain 'ol generic Super Glue Gel. I buy it in a 3 pack from the dollar store. If you are stuck with a brand name, use the Fletch Tite Platinum. I have had good results with that also.
With the Bitz, you can dial in the amount of offset and that is a godsend when putting Blazers on small diameter shafts. Put in as much offset as you can and your arrows will fly great.
I also cut my wraps down in both length and width. If you cut them to 1" wide, they will have just enough to overlap. You may have to experiment with the width to find out what fits your shafts the best.

Good Luck
