IMO, Trueflight does the best grinding on the quills. I didn't even know Easton made feather. Gateway have always had the problem you describe.....heavy 'foam', uneven grind, just generally not as uniform and consistant as Trueflight.

For glue I've used Fastset Gel with good results, but removal is dedious. Just this year I decided to switch glues and tried Bohning Platinum....nothing but good stuff to say about it. It's now my glue of choice.
