Having trouble keeping my vanes from falling off. The glue i am using is an old bottle and i wonder if it is expired. I am shooting easton fmj with blazer vanes. What brand and type of glue do i need to buy?

Thanks

Try Fletchtite Platinum..it works well for me using Blazers or feathers. Its not expensive and easy to find.

I use Pine Ridge on my blazers and it works great!

How are you cleaning and prepping the arrows and vanes?

the crazy glue types go bad after a year. buy a fresh bottle. i tried the fletch tite platinum and after one use the bottle dries out.

I don't do anything to the vanes (because i was told that you didn't have to) and the shafts i rub with alcohol and let dry. Thats all i am doing!

Great choice!

Cleaning the shaft properly is very important. The best stuff to use is Denatured Alcohol.

I've never had that happen, but then I fletch several dozen arrows a year. I have used on the same tube for several months before I used it up though

I use goat tuff, and it will go bad after so long. Like Dan though, we fletch soo many arrows a tube last less than 2 weeks so we dont usually have many go bad It did have trouble fletching some x-weaves up recently with it and I believe it was a bottle gone bad b/c they came off relatively easily.

You must have done something crazy because I have used the same tube for a couple years.

You probably just had glue in the nozzle,clean it out with a toothpick and all is fine.
