Default Loosing Blazers with a biscut

I put a Whisker biscut on the Ol' Ladys Q2 this year. Just cut and fletched up some arrows for her. Beeman ics 340 and blazers. Every arrow she shot within 3 shots 1 of the vanes had come off. Is it my glue or what? I have been cuting and fletching my own arrows for 4 years and never had a prob. i dont shoot a WB though. I am using Fletch Tite Platnum, and pointers will help.

Try another glue.......how long are the arrows sitting after you refletch them? You should let them sit ina cool place for at least 24 hours. Its got to be either your glue or the WB is out of tune, becuas ethe WB shouldnt do that to any arrow after 3 shots, it shouldnt do it period. Ive never heard of a WB doing this to anyones arrows after 3 shots. Some thing wrong with the glue or the WB in my opinion.

did ya happen to notice if the glue was sticking on the shaft, the fletch that fell off, or both. If there is no glue sticking on the shaft where the fletchings fell off, then you'd know the glue didn't bond to the shaft, and visa-versa on the fletch. Sounds like the glue isn't bonding to one, possibly both, surfaces!

I had the same problem, but it was because I was using the Reflective Wraps... I switched to the Gel version of the Glue (forget the exact name), and haven't had any issues since...

I agree, then you need to figure why.

I'm assuming it's the glue or some other factor. If you are cleaning the base first, don't. They are treated w/ something that helps adhesion. Cleaning them only wipes that off.

Personally, I've never held much faith in FletchTite. When I was using that stuff, vanes fell off all the time. And I mean, all the time! I switched to Pine Ridge (but any of the cyanocrylates will work just as well) and it's no longer a problem.

I've had great luck with the Bohning Fast Set gel. Never had a fletching come off.
