Default What glue for fletching vanes?

I'm having problems with my vanes coming off while shooting. I'm currently using fletch tite ( I think that's what it's called). I'm using Dura Vanes and their not lasting very long. Any other tips on what kind of glue I should use? Thanks for all the input.

If you're shooting carbons, Fletch Tite Platinum is good, not the stuff in the white tube. Regular crazy glue gel works good, loctite super glue is good, and almost anything works if you use wraps.

I lightly sand the shaft before fletching, and then use fletch tite platinum.

I use goat tuff with blazers and duravanes.

When fletching a bare shaft (ie not capped or crested) I also lightly sand with 220 grit and then wipe clean with plain water and allow them plenty of time to dry.

No problems at all!

I switched to 'PINE RIDGE INSTANT ARROW GLUE' 3 years ago and have have excellent results.
I didlose an occasional vane or so--but that's probably because ofbad preparation.
