Removing super-glued fletchings

[Ike 403]

I have been given several Carbon Express arrows that have been fletched with 4" RW feathers and Super Glue. I was wondering if there's a proper way to remove superglue from carbon shafting without compromising the safety of the arrow.

I'm sitting here with a razor blade and sand paper at the ready. I guess I'm just second guessing myself...   :confused:  
~EDIT~ I plan on using these exclusively for stumping, so cosmetics isn't an issue. I just dont want the nock-end blowing up when I shoot them.

I use one of those store bought scrappers, acetone and sand paper.

I use a razor knife. one of those with the snap off blades

I cut feathers off with a knife and dip in acetone.

Thanks for the help, guys. So scraping and sanding (within reason) on a carbon shaft wont hurt them? Never thought about the acetone...Thanks, BWD!

After you scrape off the feathers I like to use wraps,then they are easy too redo later without having to scrape them.Be careful with acetone,it can be harsh on some carbons.

Semi dull knife as not to cut into the carbon, then scrape, sand lightly re-glue the new ones on

When you use acetone, don't let the shaft stay immersed in the acetone for any length of time, prolonged exposure can affect the integrity of the shaft.

What trapperDave said,
I use a plastic handled box cutter to slice the feathers off, then raise the angle and scrape off the remaining glue.
Super glue usually becomes quite brittle and scrapes off pretty easily.
Wipe with acetone or denatured alcohol, and refletch!

Tradtusker has it right..

Like most I use some kind of blade and then a wet acetone cloth for quite few times.

I use a dull knife to strip the fletching off and then lightly brush on basic paint stripper from the hardware.  Let it sit for a few minutes and then gently scrape again with the dull knife, rinse with water and you're good to go.  Works very well. The stripper works just like the glue debonder they sell by the ounce.

Good information in this thread.

I use a dull knife and go really light and slow and clean up with acetone.
