Default RE: cleaning arrow

For my arrows I use 91% alcohol and a paper towell and wipe them down real well being careful not to wipe over the label as this will take the label off on carbons. You don't have to worry about it on aluminums. Also you would want to be careful wiping down arrowwraps with printing on them with alcohol. This will clean the printing off of them. I know some people who just use water for this

If I am using a wrap, I don't use anything before fletching. Otherwise, I use acetone on aluminums. I also use acetone if I am using an overwrap.

I read it somewhere can't remember where, not to wipe down with any chemical if your using any quick set type glues. When I put on wraps I just run them underwater wipe dry and then glue on the vane or feather. I think I got this from NAP.
