Last night I cleaned up all of my arrows, and did a custom spray-paint cresting job. It turned out great! White with an orange fade. I am putting on 2 white fletchings and one orange fletching on each arrow. When the pain dried I went over it with a coat of Plasti-Kote clear Laquer. This morning everything was good and dry, so I put a set of fletchings on with The Fletch-tite Platinum glue. I took a peak 15 minutes later and it appears that the glue is melting the laquer, it is kind of bubbled out on the sides a bit.
What glue are you guys usuing on the laquer??

Bohning glues are famous on the traditional side for being incompatible with any laquer that's not made by Bohning. Use Duco or one of the superglues.
If you're using feathers, I highly recommend Bohning fletching tape. I've used it on all kinds of finishes, all kinds of arrows and have never had a problem with it. It's only for feathers though, won't work with vanes at all.
