duravanes
anyone else have problems with these vanes not holding their shape. I just fletched a few up tonight and they feel thick and if wrinkled they seem to stay wrinkled. Just don't seem anywhere as good as the aae plastifletch eltites I've been using. Anyone have good luck with these.

RE: duravanes
They work great if you have zero fletching to rest contact. Shove them through a whisker biscuit and you'll be looking at curly vanes in no-time.
If they are not too wavy you can straighten them back up with the steam off of an iron or lightly heating them with a hair drier.

RE: duravanes
The Duravanes seem very similiar in material to the AAE Plastifletch Elites? As a matter of fact IF they are thrown together it can actually be somewhat difficult to tell them apart. They both have a very rubber-like contruction. Personally I really like them and find them to be great performers. They are inexpensive enough that they aren't a problem to replace as often as needed. A good product IMHO.
