whether you use feathers or vanes the fletching will adhere twice as well when dipped with bohning fletch laquer.yuo don't need to use high strength adhesive just bohnings glue for aluminum and carbon.I belive its in a silver tube.I have dipped tons of arrows both carbon and aluminum and have never had a fletching come off.I have always used a bitzenburger fletching jig the best you can get.I used to work at a local archery shop and the owner had been fletching arrows with these jigs for over 20yrs.hope this helps.brad bowtech patriot
