Default How to take off arrow wraps??

I have to replace some arrow wraps and was wondering what the best way to take them off was? I took a knife to one last night and it worked okay but there was still all the sticky leftovers and that looks like it will be a pain to deal with. So basically am just wondering if you guys have any tricks to taking them off or to just do it and get it over with. Thanks

I just set the arrow in a glass of hot water for 5 minutes. After that they usually peel off fairly easy.

I soak it in hot water, then take a dull razor blade and slice the wrap ever 1/4" or so in strips parallel with the shaft (think of peeling a banana) and then soak it for another minute or so, the wrap just peels right off smooth after that.

Norway's Zip Strip is what I've used for years...

Here's the link so you can look at it/buy it

Zip strip. Lol and to get the sticky stuff off use cotton swabs and alcohol. That's how a pro does it.
