Yes goat-tuff is a ' super glue' type of adhesive...

I still have a hard time swallowing the ' it' s the acetone' - I just went to the flex-fetch website & found this

Do - Use acetone, lacquer thinner, wood alcohol or isopropyl
alcohol if it is at least 97% pure.
Do - Use a clean 100% cotton cloth. An old T-shirt works great.
Do - Place vane in the fletching clamp before cleaning the base.
Do - Wrap the cloth around a fingertip and apply a liberal amount
of solvent.
Do - Rub the base of the vane lengthwise once in each direction.
Move finger slightly to use a fresh surface on the return pass.
Do - Use a fresh area of cloth and new solvent on each vane.

Don' t - Use rubbing alcohol, cotton balls cotton swabs (Q-Tips) or
paper towels. They often contain oils and chemicals which
interfere with adhesion.
Don' t - Smoke near the fletching area.
Don' t - Use cloth that has been tumble dried with any of the fabric
softener sheets used in dryers.


***So what gives...??
The only thing I can think of is I used a chunk of denim (old blue-jean) is that 100% cotton? (I' m an archery fanatic - I only know what' s gore-tex & what' s not.......) and it was dried in the dryer & I' m assuming the DA used a softener...(don' t do the laundry either[])

I' m still corn-fused - I thought for sure I was doing it right...

My Easton diamond vanes were perfect - but as previously stated - they have an accelerator applied to them that works in conjunction with the super-glue types of glue...


I' m headed to see the pro - I' ll let y' all know what he says..



Thanks!
