Default Flying Fusions!

Went out this afternoon to shoot some with my son, and after about 3 groups I noticed one of my vanes was hanging off. Hmmm...next thing I know, another blew off on the shot, then another. So I took my 6 arrows and proceeded to peel off all the vanes with little effort really. The glue seemed really brittle to me, more so than I expected. I fletched these months ago, but it was the first time I actually shot this particular half dozen. I have others that I fletched with no issue. ?

New Beman ICS hunters, 2" Fusions, with brand new fletch tite platinum. I have no clue. First time in my life I have had a vane come off, ever - in 20yrs of fletching. Now...in all fairness, I just started fletching carbons about a year ago...so I have no clue what could have happened here. Funny thing....his blazers on his carbons are just fine. Usually the people complain about blazers coming off. Fun, Fun!

Any suggestions for a better grip on the carbons? Glue, prep, etc? I doubt it was the vanes, probably me.
