Glad I stumbled upon this thread. I was about to order some AAE Max Stealths and Hunters. Primer pen and glue "required" for these vanes is over $20. Good grief, I will stick with Blazers and Q2i.
Just fletched 2 dozen black eagle deep impacts with the max stealths and AAE max bond. Some with crests, others with bare shaft. No acetone or accelerator or pens and haven’t had any issues. Actually shot through a fletching last night and it still remained glued onto the bare shaft.
acetone on a paper towel, wipe the shaft clean. acetone on a q-tip, wipe down bottom of vane, gorilla glue blue top glue and fletch away. havent had any problems with my max stealths. ive had to use pliers to rip the vanes off, and the majority of the time the vane rips leaving the base attached to the shaft.
