I'm in the process of refletching some of my arrows. I am using a dull kitchen knife to take my old feathers off and I'm having trouble getting all of the glue off of the shaft(s). What do you guys recommend me doing so that I can get the arrow cleanand apply wraps and new vanes? WhenI keep scraping the arrows to remove glue it seems like I am damaging my arrows (by removing carbon). By the way my arrows are Carbon Express CX 300 if that matters. Thanks ahead of time for any replies.
I see nothing wrong with using a razor blade knife if very careful. I use one and have only damaged one shaft out of many so far. I hold at a 45 degree angle and lightly scrape back and forth and turn the shaft once in a while. I find that it removes all vane, glue, etc..and will not damage the shaft or your hand if careful!
