what kind of glue?

[cevans]

I know you may not like using it,,but we used the heck out of it in our shop, after stripping the feathers and vanes off, we soaked the shafts in acetone and it ate the glue off, then wiped the shafts down with a clean rag with acetone on it, and when you use fletch-tite glue you would have no problems at all with them sticking, but if you know your going to shoot em thru a bail or target you tip the front of the feather and the back of the feather with a dab of glue and that vane or feather would stay on till it wore off. Prepping the shaft will more than pay for the time invested in fletching.
