The white residue left by some of the cyanoacrylate glues easily wipes right off. I've personally not had any luck at all w/ gluing vanes to a bare shaft w/ fletch tite platimum. Don't know why exactly, but they don't stick for crap.....for me anyway. Apparently others are doing something differently than I, because it works for 'em.

I've been using Goat Tuff with Blazers and feathers, here is an example of both.

I have found if you take a peice of 800 grit sand paper to the shaft and wipe them down with alcohol, the fletching sticks very good. You don't have to power sand it, just enough to get a small amount of material to come up.I usedfletch tite and it worked extremely well. I did these arrows two years ago and still have the fletching on the arrows. That is after some 100 shots through a WB arrow rest. It really worked well. Although, you need to put a small little dot of glue at the front of the fletch. This helps keep the bristles from pulling up the front of the fletching. I wish I was home so I could send you the photos. I know there has to some one else besides me that has done this. I learned this trick from an old timer. Those guys are precious! He taught me the how toduring my younger years.

I personally use the Bohning Fletch Tite Platinum and have had zero problems with it. I experimented with a few of the instant glues in the past but never really cared for the white residue they left on my arrows and vanes.
I use the same stuff and have fletched probably thousands of arrows with it. Works great!!
