    What fletching glue for use with blazers and wraps?

    I finally got around to shooting my FMJs after having let them sit for a week. I wrapped them with Cameron's reflective wraps, cleaned them with isopropyl alcohol, then fletched my blazers on with an ez-fletch mini helical using Bohning fletch-tite.

    Like I said, they had a good week to cure, probably more...don't remember exactly when I fletched them. I know I got the right amount of glue on each one...I was really picky about it and let each one sit in the clamp for 10 minutes.

    Picked up 6 of them, let them fly. Shot them again, and when I got to the target, two of them had a missing fletching. Some glue residue left on the wrap, and some residue along with wrap material on the blazers that fell off. The other 4 went through another bunch of shots with no problem and no signs of separation. Can't decide if this is a glue problem or something I messed up, or just bad luck, so what do y'all use with this combo?

    Is that Bohning fletch tite Platinum? maybe the humidity? too much moisture

      I use Goat-Tuff glue. Same setup; Cameron's reflective wraps and Blazers.

                  x2. i used to use goat tuff but ran out one time and saw that everyone was suggesting the loctite super glue gel so i tried it and it worked just as well. the best part is you can pick it up at most stores.

                    You need to leave it on for min. 15 min for what you are using. And easton glue works great dries in 30 sec.

                        Loctite Superglue gel. Just as good as Goat tuff and a lot cheaper and can get it anywhere.

                          I use the Bohning Fletch tite and I had problems once just like you but I think it was because I tried to use too little glue and the glue was old.

                            LocTite Super Glue Gel is what I used on Blazers on top of Cam's reflective wraps

                              I had a bottle of Goat Tuff go old on me and it didn't work to well with Blazers. Got a new bottle of Goat tuff and it worked great!!! That was my first experience with old/bad glue.
