Default Re fletching carbons

I am considering getting some Gold Tips and am wondering - what is the procedure when re fletching them vs. aluminums? Obviously I don't imagine one can scrape the surface of the shaft clean with a razor to remove any remaining glue or plastic fletching material still remaining on the shaft!

So HOW DO you then accomplish this with carbon shafts?

I use my pocket knife on both, just dont dig the knife into your shaft. Works on aluminum, carbon....Just watch the angle of your blade and use light pressure, take a little off at a time. When I get the glue off i then take a little piece of sand paper and lightly scuff the carbon surface, clean and fletch....works every time.....fletchings don't come off, not even when you accidentally shoot them through the metal sidingon your barn...LOL

I use a wrap. When needing to refletch, just peel off the wrap, put another one back on and viola! No mess, no fuss, no bother, no chizzling on a gozillion dollar arrow!

Ido them the same as aluminum arrows. Just use light pressure with your razzor blade and dont cut to deep. When I get the glue off i use one of the green scratch pads that you was dishes with. After that clean the shaft with denatured alcholol and fletch them.

This is how I do it as well, except I have a dedicated paring knife for removing fletching.
