I can't get the old glue from my carbon arrows to refletch. I'm afraid to
damage the arrow by scraping with a utility knife. I've also used a
automotive adhesive remover with no luck.

TIA

Use a razor blade and use a little caution .. honestly you should have very
ltitle problems .. a little carbon might come off but that's natural ..

In article <7rbcmq$v8d$1...@nntp9.atl.mindspring.net>,
Yes, carefully remove as much glue as you can with a knife, then finish
off with a standard bathroom scouring powder. Don't forget to rinse
well afterwards. This has the advantage of de-greasing the shaft prior
to re-fletching as well.

I use a dull pocket knife to strip ACC's. Then I use a piece of scouring
pad (Scotchbrite) to get the last little bit of glue off (degreases shaft
too as someone mentioned). Rinse (and wipe) with hot tap water to get the
dust off. Let dry and refletch...

I just use a razor blade and then sand the carbon shaft, clean and
refletch....

I remove flethings off my arrows (alum & Carbon) using a"stripper" fletching
and glue remover tool manufactured by Saunders. "one smooth move removes
fletching down to bare shaft of arrow" and made in USA.. Direct enquireies to

Strip with knife, dip in acetone for 5 min, clean with a paper towel,
if still a little glue left redip in acetone for two mins. Look I've
been doing this for 10 years . it dosen't hurt the shaft, I heard you
can leave them in acetone over 40 min. but I never done that! Let them
completely dry, I usually don't fletch till the next day, the following
day use a scrub pad very lightly, wipe with rubbing alcohol and your all
set and your all set to fletch! Have Fun BIG "D"

Use our Deco Wrap (DWC). This thin adhesive mylar tape works perfectly for
just gluing your vanes or feathers on the shaft. When you want to re-fletch,
just peel the mylar off and vanes come with it! No need to use knives or
chemicals to clean the shaft. Works great! Go to:
