With the Platinum I've found you need to make sure the whole vane base has glue on it before attaching and make sure you hold for 10-15 sec.

Also, make sure to use acetone on the shafts before gluing. It should help bond better.

Check for rest contact if you are using anything but a WB.

I also use Goat Tuff and since it's basically super glue the stuff bonds pretty much right away.

90% of the fletching I do is on wraps. I always use Fletchtite Platinum and it has performed flawless for me

I've tried all the "archery" super glues I could find, and this has turned out to be the best for me:

AAE Fastset Gel. It stays where you put it and bonds in a few seconds.
It works great for me.

I use AAE Fastset Gel. Works great. After I attach my Blazer vane to the arrow I count to ten, it's there for good
