Blazers that wont glue.
Has anyone ever bought blazers that wont stick to arrows??? I dont know what the heck is wrong but I bought 25 camo,25 white,25 orange blazers and only the white ones stick. Tryed 3 types of adhesives and these thing wont stick no matter how long I wait. I used acetone, alcohol, even tryed windex to clean the shaft. Nothing will get these things glued. White ones go on and stay on. I even tryed roughing up the shaft with sand paper with no luck. Any help would be great thanks in advance.
Re: Blazers that wont glue.
Did you try cleaning the fletching
normally don't need to , could be something on them.

Re: Blazers that wont glue.
i have had a problem with some before as well .but think it was what they used as a release agent in the mold that makes them.like roly said are you cleaning the grove with anything before you apply the glue

Re: Blazers that wont glue.
I had that problem a little while back and in my case it turned out to be a combination of older glue and a gunked up AZ-EZ Fletch jig. Some new Loctite super glue gel and giving the jig a soak in acetone fixed the problem for me.

Re: Blazers that wont glue.
The only time I've had trouble, it was a glue issue. I never clean anything and the Blazers stick. What glue are you using? The glue I had trouble with was a Bohning product . . .I thought it would be perfect since they made both.
I've had no issues with using the super glue gels.

Re: Blazers that wont glue.
I had 100 pak do that, didn't matter what glue i used or that i cleaned with acetone or & scrubbed using ajax. Some just would fall off others you could finger pull them off. I watched some of mine fall off during a cold snap when it got to the Teens.I use Fusions now!
Re: Blazers that wont glue.
I took a close look at the vanes and bottom of them are flat there is an unequal leg length so they dont seat properly on the shaft. I have used fletch tite platnum by bohning, Goat tuff, and loctite. I think the problem is the vains dont sit on the shaft properly. I have tryed cleaning the vanes but that did not help. The white ones have a grove on the bottom of them and they go on great..........I'm just gonna toss em out and buy some new ones. A few bad batches floating around I guess. Thanks.

Re: Blazers that wont glue.
With the older blazers I used to rough up the base with a fine sandpaper pad then wipe them clean with 99 % isopropl alcohol. Keeping the jig free of glue build up is important as noted. Gorilla glue with the blue top has worked well. I would also have to say that the 2010 version of the vane, the ones with the bohning logo, seem to work better than the earlier version.

Re: Blazers that wont glue.
The early one's didn't have a glue groove later one's did & sometimes they had release gunk & sandpaper didn't help. I just moved on to the Fusions.
Re: Blazers that wont glue.
Have tried 6 different glues, including LocTite, Goat--. Boehning, GT, etc and none sticks as well as Gorilla brand 'super glue. It's latex fortified so not only holds better but won't crack.

Re: Blazers that wont glue.
I hope they help him. I use to use fletch tite til it wouldn't hold vanes anymore. Went to their Platinum glue & it won't hold the Blasers i had on alum. shafts, i quit using their products. Too many other good that will work to worry with the agrivation.See4miles wrote:Pilman,
