Things you should do:

• Do - Use acetone, lacquer thinner, wood alcohol or isopropyl alcohol if it is at least 97%  pure.
• Do - Use a clean 100% cotton cloth. An old T-shirt works great.
  
• Do - Place vane in the fletching clamp before cleaning the base.
  
• Do - Wrap the cloth around a fingertip and apply a liberal amount of solvent.
  
• Do - Rub the base of the vane lengthwise once in each direction. Move finger slightly to use a fresh surface on the return pass.
  
• Do - Use a fresh area of cloth and new solvent on each vane.

  Things you Shouldn't do:

• Don't - Use rubbing alcohol, cotton balls, cotton swabs (Q-Tips) or paper towels. They often contain oils and chemicals which interfere with adhesion.
  
• Don't - Smoke near the fletching area.
  
• Don't - Use cloth that has been tumble dried with any of the fabric softener sheets used in dryers.
  
  *Remember - If your vanes aren't sticking properly check to see which surface the glue is adhering better to.  Also, if you are having trouble, it all boils down to one thing. Something isn't getting clean. Make sure you are using clean solvent and that your fletching tools are clean. When prepared properly the process should be quick and your bond should be nearly indestructible.
