Default RE: arrow fletching/glue removal

I bought a vane stripper, they are real inexpensive and take off the vane a glue with one swoop.
some of the guys use a box knife be carefull not to take off too much. Don't use any solvents as they may breakdown your arrows. I am assuming these are carbon arrow?

I use a cheap-o razor knife. The ones that are retractable and you can brake the blade off as it gets dull. Then I use a scotch brite to get remaining glue and to scuff the shaft before putting it in the cleaning solution.
