Been fletching my own arrows but I can't seem to get the top right edge (when upside down in the jig) to lay down correctly. It's as if it always wants to peel. Not sure if this is my arrow, too much offset, fletching, jig, etc.
I'm using:
Bitzberger straight jig
3" fusion vanes (also have same problem with 2")
Goat Tuff glue or platinum fletchtite - the GT is by far a stronger bond but I like working with the fletchtite better.
Bohning wraps
Gold Tip Kinetic XT arrow
I'm letting each vane set for up to a couple of hours at a time to make sure they bond but I'm still getting lift on the vane base corner.
Any thoughts on what I need to do to get a nice smooth bond with the vane? I took a pic to try and show what's happening I hope described it clearly. Hopefully someone can tell me if it's a combination of my materials/tools or if I need to change the offset on my jig - which was set to match my buddy's who been fetching with these settings for years.
Thanks for any and all help.
