Very nice, I use the AZ easy fletch. I like to put a dot of glue on the front and back of each vane. If you notice them wanting to peel try that.

They look good! Looking forward to my first arrow fletching adventure this year!
 
Look great. I use the same jig. Trying to figure out this archery thing as I go. I ran into an issue with toour much glue getting into the jig making it stick

I've noticed that to, every couple arrows I have to wipe it down with acetone or the glue build up tears up my wraps

Good job
I always prefer a tiny bit of "squeeze out".....lets me know I'm good full length
I use a "kicker" to fast dry the outer exposed bead.

It does an archer good to take pride in the "do it yourself" side of things. I just got a bow press and totally disassembled my bow so I could dip it in Snow Camo. Bow shops are great, but no one takes pride like you yourself does.

Now I can do it all myself. Been tuning and dialing my own in for years, just never did the dirt work a bow shop usually does for free. In fact the press is from the shop, he said here, take it, if I need I will come over. He has another in his shop still but gave me the newer of the 2.
