Sorry I didn't respond to your questions sooner.
My new arrows and the carbon wrapped aluminum with the BassPro name on them, made by Easton.
I hadn't planned on doing wraps because I don't want to have to replace all the fletchings when I have to fix just one, but it's a possibility.

Loc-tite Gel or gorilla Crazy glue (blue cap) work very well and are cheap and easy to find! (Wal-Mart)
As for removing old fletching,I use a veggy pealer and then wipe them down with goo gone. If any residue remains scatch it off with a dull knife,just be careful not to cut into the fibers!
I would suggest using wraps before you reflech,makes refleching the next time a lot easier.
If you want to buy good quality wraps at a reasonable price check out onestringer.com he has great wraps and great prices and ships fast!

Stuck with the old ways
In a way I'm glad. I learned using Bohning some twenty years ago, I think. And I never switched. Not even the aluminum arrows.
I've had to check a number of sources, that discontinued making the item I used. Even Bohning.
I missed over a year of bow shooting, because of forces beyond my control. But I'm all ready for the first warm up.
In my inventory, I have the following in unopened containers.
1- Bohning Tex-Tite Bowstring Wax
1- Bohning Hot Melt Ferr-L-Tite
1-Bohning Fletch-Tite (in the white tubing)
Guess I'll have to buy Fletch-Tite Aluminum, or Platimum, whatever they call it, the next time around.
I wonder if I should keep what I have as heirlooms?

Fletch-Tite is all I use at the shop, and it works great.
