I do a quick dip in boiling water and they peel right off. Or buy some cheap wraps and they fall off on there own  :banghead:

I just did this the other day, had a few I needed to get off. and didn't want to spend 2 hours picking it off.
 I cut a piece of metal pipe , sealed the bottom with epoxy. poured some goof off in and pulled my nock and stuck the arrow in. in just a few minutes I just wiped it off with a rag. thats how il be doing it from now on.

I use a feather stripper that I bought off 3 Rivers and strip off all my wraps. Then I rub off the residue with denatured alcohol. I found this way to be the quickest cleanest way.

I use a heat gun on low.  Come right off, then wipe down with acetone and ready to install new.

I agree with using a heat gun on low, that seems to work pretty well.

Heat gun here. But the Goof off method merits my attention as well. Think I will try that next time.

I use one of those tapered scrapers from Cir-Cut Archery. Does a great job.
