Quit cleaning the vanes and wraps. The vanesare made with a bonding agent applied to them and when you clean them you are hurting the bonding strength.

Fast fletch is a super glue and if using a "super glue" don't clean anything with any kind of solvent. Only clean with a solvent based cleaner if using the slo setting glues like fletch tite.

Thanks! I picked up some super glue gel and it did the trick. Shot a round at the video range on Wed with no problems, I also ordered more blazers. I sure like the performance of those buggers. Now if I could just send one through a deer......

great advice in this thred, going to get some super glue gel!

RE: Problems Fletching Blasers - pics
 

This could be your problem right there.... You cannot get alot of offset or helical with blazers due to thier size.... If you put too much helical or offset on them they will not have good contact with the shaft.... Knock back your offset to 2 or 3 degree just you some to practice with to see where you can get the most offset with total fletching to shaft contact.....

ive found that the fletch tite platinum works just fine for me with blazers, in fact i like it a lot better than the super glues......BUT.......

i use a quality fletching jig also, not an e-z fletch, i use a jo-jan with straight clamp.

i know a lot of ya like the e-z fletchers, but to me at least they dont hold even pressure on the shaft and vane.

just my .2 cents and of course ymmv.:)

I've had this exact problem and i'm now very excited to see this thread lol. I'm gonna have to try this stuff.

RE: Problems Fletching Blasers - pics
 

I have had the same experience. Using the platinum fletch tite, the jig has to be set up very precisely to fletch Blazers with a significant helical. But it works well once you get the jig dialed in. The setup becomes even more critical on the small diameter shafts.

I had the same problem with my bitz jig with a straight clamp. I switched to the bohning tower jig and no problems at all with the fletch tight platinum. The bohning jig also works great if you have to replace on fletch only too. they other two fletches just line up perfectly in using their jig.

I've got a similar setup (blazers with a Switchback and gold tips) - though I use a Blitz... w/ right helical to fletch.

The glue that I use is made by Arizona Archery - comes in an orange and white tube . It's always worked great for me.

You can also get the aee fastset gel,which is basiclly super glue gel,works great for me for years now.
