the most accurate veins

Post by paulaboutform »

I was thinking of switching to 2" Blazers from the standard 4" that come stock on the Firebolts. Is anyone finding the helical is reducing speed? Recommendations welcome. :?

X, I had nothing to do a couple of nights back and did lots of reading on the Zeon Glow veins and adhesion troubles. Everything that I found said that good old Super Glue (cyanoacrylate ) solved the problem, and it's fast!

Trust me, it's not that simple. They are the hardest vanes to make sticj I've tried. AND, due to the ribs, they are harder to work with in some jigs. A helical AAE jig (Bolt) is virtually impossible to use with em.

Why hunt? Simple, it's BASIC. Why breath?!

I never said that they were simple to use, nothing of the sort. Only relaying a summation of the reviews the way I understand them. Please don't shoot the messenger! 8)
