I use a dull knife to carefully scrape all of the vane off. I then lightly steel wool the end and wash it with comet. After it has dried, I wipe down the end of the shaft with isopropyl alcohol and refletch after it has evaproated.

This method doesnt work well with the ICS camo shafts as of 2002, because the finish likes to come off along with the adhesive. Haven' t checked to see if they' ve changed their finishing method this year or not.

* If you are careful with the camo shafts, and only lose some of the finish under the three glued areas, you can refletch over the same spots if you set your jig up right.
