yeah should be ok , I use selleys supa glue on wraps ( vanes and feathers ) and works good , just sometimes those cheap supa glue packs either have tubes with stuff all glue in them or the glue isn't quite as strong as the big brands , selleys , Loctite etc.

Beast was it the standard Fletch tite, (white and black tube or the silver platinum, you should be using the silver plat/ one as it has more thinner base in it to eat into the wraps). Don't use the silver one on standard cresting and fletching as it will eat into the paint and discolour the fletching.

Just my experience that's all.
