Me, too. That and Arrow Mate NPV. Neither are fast setting, but they don't get brittle either so last for many years. I've got ACC's fletched with NPV that are just about 17 years old.

Cheap super glue from menards. 2 pack for like $2.80 works great for me. Dries so quick.

It's not that hard to hold a vane to a shaft, and the chemical composition of most of the fletching adhesives out there - "super glue" included - really aren't that different.
What DOES make a significant difference in how well fletching stays put is shaft and vane preparation. Grab a vane out of a box and glue it to an unprepped shaft, don't expect good results. Prep your shafts properly (rough-up, wipe, and degrease), degrease/de-oil your vanes properly, and any of the products on the market will hold just fine.

As far as the original question, my opinion doesn't matter. As far as my experience, Bohning Platinum has worked well.

Agree completely! (With the exception that some vane manufacturers - like Bohning - say to leave the vanes alone, i.e., to not de-oil them. Read the directions on the package.)
