I am having trouble putting 3" fletchings on some ICS CamoHunter 400s. The finish is causing problems with getting a solid bond between the shaft and fletch I'm guessing that is why). I am thouroughly cleaning the shaft and fletch with Isopropanol cleaner (that leaves no residue) and using Steel Force Beyond Bond glue. Once they are dry (24 hours), the fletch pops off on the first couple of shots through a Whisker biscuit. It is not the front but they whole fletch that comes off and the glue seems to be brittle??????
Anyone out there had similiar issues?? Suggestions would be appreciated, thanks.

I remembered hearing that the isopropanol cleaner would prevent vanes from sticking to the shaft. Try cleaning the shaft with water and then let if dry. Gently rub the end with sandpaper and then try again.

I've been using the Bohning Fletch-Tite Platinum adhesive. I havn't had any issues to date with it.

I have used Steel Force glue on mine and they held fine.

You could also try putting a wrap on first.

Its either the isporpyl alcohol or the glue. Try cleaning the shafts with water first like Zak said, if that doesnt help then try a different glue.
