What type of shafts are you trying to fletch? And what type of vanes are you using? I had the same problem with other glues when trying to put Blazer vanes on my easton axis shafts. The only thing I could get to work is the Fletch-tite Platinum. I also put a wrap on the shaft and that seemed to help a lot. Be sure to read the instructions that came with the vanes. Some require you to clean the bases while some-like the Blazers-tell you not to clean them. Also, be sure to give your arrows about 24 hours drying time before you start shooting them. Good luck and good shooting!
