feather plucking
« on: July 16, 2010, 05:14:00 PM »
Whats the best way to strip old feathers off that had been glued on aluminum arrows?  How about if you are using arrow wraps and you want to try and refletch with out tearing up stickers?  Thanks

If you are glued only way I have found is a razor blade , if you use tape a hair dryer will remove the feather with out harm to wraps!!

I posted a thread here titled "Feather stripping tool" or maybe "fletching stripping tool". Do a search for it; I'm the guy who began the thread, so you can search that way. I found the perfect tool for that.
