I like my EZ fletch.I have used it for a couple of years now and like anything else there is a little learning curve.Feathers are a bit harder to work with but it will do them just fine.As for the glue I just try and cover the base of the vane with no globs which seems to work OK.I generally leave them in the jig for 5-10 minutes and let them sit overnight before I use them.I also use the aluminum model for my carbons without problems.Ron
