I plan to start fletching my own arrows. What is the best adhesive to use for gluing on the vanes and feathers? What about stripping off old feathers and glue? Can this be done easily with a dull knife or are the fletching stripper tools like those sold in Cabelas worth the money?

Does anyone have any opinions on the best feathers and vanes to use? Gateway Feathers? Bohning or AAE Vanes? etc.?
