If you are putting to much glue on, not to worry just carefully wipe it off with a q-tip. I do that all the time, just run the q-tip along the edge of the vane. If you have to much glue just start twisting the q-tip away from the vane. I only use one tip for each side of the vane or you'll end up with a mess. I do like the Arizona ez gel(pressue sensitive), Bitz, and a razor blade knife to remove vanes. You may want to look at the new Fusion vanes from Duravane. Easier to fletch than blazer if you are doing offsets or right/left helical.
