RE: Thinking of using crazy glue for vanes
I have used super glue gels and it holds as well as any vane glue you can buy,problem is it gets brittle over time just like the archery glues.
The Fletch tite platinum is hard to beat for shelf life and it doesn't get brittle as quick as super glues but even it won't last as long as the original Fletch tite when on the shaft.
Not sure what problems you have experienced with platinum but I have experienced no issues.
