Default WHAT fletch glue for Easton AXIS shafts????

Fletched up 6 Easton Axis shafts the other day. Prepped them scuffed them with 400 grit, wiped down with Acetone. Fletched them with 3 fletch Duravanes in an Arizona EZ Fletch with Fletch-Tite Cabon glue. They looked great!!! Grabbed ahold of one today and the fletcdh peeled right off. What are you guys using to fletch these?

THANKS,
Clint

I did the same thing.....but I didn't even scuff them up !! [8D]

Now .......I'm scuffing them up .......cleaning them with alcohol.......gluing them with Bond-tite .......and putting a dab of Goat Tuff on the front and back of each fletch !! I'm kinda unsure now...if their even going to come off "ever" !!

I agree, use the wraps and one of the cyanoacrylate type glues like beyond bond or goat tuff. You will never loose a fletch. When it is time to refletch, just peel the wrap off and start all over.

I have been using the Pine Ridge Instant glue with duravanes on my Axis out of an AEF with no adhesion problems to speak of.

PA beat me to it. I was going to suggest that or Goat Tuff. They are both really good glues. Also if you are using rubbing alcohol make sure it is the 90% or better stuff.

WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO DO DIFFERENT TO FLETCH WITH WRAPS THAT'S DIFFERENT THAN WITHOUT? DO YOU STILL SCUFF THE SHAFT TO PREP FOR THE WRAPS? THEN WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO DO TO PREP THE WRAP FOR THE VANE?
