Default Need help - generic arrow fletching ?'s

I've finally decided to start learning about building arrows - I've watched it done a TON and I'd like to be able to repair my 3d vanes as needed thru the season - SO...

I bought a Bitz - LW Helical

1) The Bitz has 3 'spots' on it - how do you fletch a 4 vane arrow with it? (spot/3d is 3 vane hunting is 4)

2) How do you strip Bohning dip from arrows (have a few dozen I'd like to re-fletch to learn & play with but they are crested...)

3) Once stripped can you just dip the arrow in rubbing alcohol to 'clean' it, then let it dry, then fletch it?

4) How can you tell what degree helical the jig is set for? Is there 'too much' helical? (using drop away rest - contact isn't an issue)

Thanks!
