    If you use wraps on your shafts you will likely solve your problem with just about any fletching glue. I use Bohning Fletch Tite Platinum and never have a problem with that combination. If you do use wraps, start your first fletch directly over the seam.

    If you are re-fletching your shafts purchase a stripping tool so you wont damage the integrity of the carbon. and carefully remove the vanes. Then with new or re-used shafts i use a very fine sandpaper , dont be aggressive about it its just to rough it up a bit and removes any remaining glue if your re-fletching. Then use a 90% alcohol , which you can get at a drug store , dont over wipe with it , you just want to get any oils , dirt , etc. off the shaft , be sure to let the alcohol dry completely before you start gluing and dont handle the surface after you do this due to the oils on your hand. I have had real good luck with AAE FASTSET , heres a tip after you remove your fletched arrows from the jig put a small drop at both ends of the vanes where they meet the shaft, this will make the vanes stay on much better even with a pass through of your targets etc. Hope this helps ya.
