Default RE: fletching removal on carbon arrows

I take a real dull knife and lightly scrape the fletching and glue off our carbon shafts.This is the only way that I know of to remove them.Just be sure not to cut into the shaft.It wowrks good on black shafts,but sometimes the camo comes off with the glue on the camo colored shafts.

the fletch stripper by Saunders works fantastic on my carbons and does no damage at all to the shaft. You can get them for about $15.


Whoever said there is no such thing as a stupid question has never worked in Law Enforcement.

By far the best way (pro shops do it this way) is to take the nock off and dip shaft in acetone for a minute or so and wipe clean. Prior to doing this scrape as much of the vane or feather off with a razor blade being careful not to nick the carbon shaft. Let me repeat.....remove the nock first......most important to remember this critical step.

I use this technique on redlines. cxls, and all aluminums.

I don't think you will want to dip carbon shafts in Acetone or use acetone at all. I had read somewhere that acetone would destroy the carbon fibers.
