Definetly use the tape for feathers. GOOD stuff! Glue? Any of the cyanoacrylates (super glue) will work fine. They sometimes leave a white, cloudy residue, but it wipes off.In fact, I've used super glue gel before, and it works well. I wouldn't use acetone to clean carbon, it deteriorates it. Denatured alcohol is better.

There are several commercial vane stripping tools on the market. Saunders and Bohning are 2 that come to mind.
