I just got these vanes as well (Plastifletch MAX), done a bit of web based research and they seem to be recommended by trustworthey archers.

Haven't used them yet but tried to fletch up some arrows with them last night. I used Socx fluorescent wraps and doublesided tape from altser instead of glue. This is what I done before for older AAE fletches and it was grand. However, these new fletches will not stay on the shaft! Keep falling off even though they're not even shot yet! Gurrr .

Anyone have any ideas? Maybe I need to use a solvent to get rid of the applicator chemical on the base of these fletches if using double sided tape - this wasn't the case in the past though.

Should say as well, I'm using x10s so don't really want to go without wraps - things are too expensive to tear the carbon off during refletching!
