I use Blu Glu and have no issues.  I prep meticulously and apply a dab on the front and rear of each vane.

That's neat stuff!  Dries clear but has enough color to see how good your bead is before putting the arrow down.  For aging guys like me that's not such a bad idea.  Still an adhesive type that makes me nervous in various hunting temperatures and fletching temperatures.  But a good product I think a lot of guys will like.  Especially if you find you are "even bead" challenged as I get sometimes get these days.

Wish Saunders would add some color like that.  NPV used to be a bit yellow and that helped.  But, in the past decade their formula has become more clear.  Still the same outstanding bond, just more clear!  I was really surprised at how well the Blu Glu coloring worked.  I even put an LED light close by when fletching that glue.  Really made the blue jump off the vane.
He asked, Do you ever give a short simple answer?  I replied, "Nope."

I've had excellent results with Bohning Platinum using it exactly as Bohning says to do. Also, Lancaster says Bohning Platinum is the best waterproof glue for use in wet environments.
