Make sure and get all the old glue off. I slightly rough the surface on the arrow. Seems I get a better hold with the glue. Never had to do this until I started shooting Beeman MFX arrows. Glue would not hold well untill I started roughing the surface a little. -
Check out the equipment and tuning thread. There is a stickie at the top on fetching.Comment

Only tip I can give you is to chunk all that stuff in the trash and get some NAP Quikfletch and be done with all of that headache and waste of time.Originally posted by nairb2580 View PostComment

Don't use fletching glue. Use super glueComment

So regular everyday super glue? And this is better than the tube of fletch tite?Comment

clean those shafts good! i mean good! use a knife or fletch stripper to get off all you can and be thorough! then go back with rubbing alcohol and a paper towel and clean them even better. ive always used fletch tite and never had a problem at all. also, vanes seemed to work best when glued to wraps, that made them stick really really well.Comment

Zip strip is your friend. It's a little pricey but works like a champ.Comment
