Carbon arrows and heat

ive been removing arrow wraps by using a light touch w propane torch and have never had a problem w bemans and gt carbons. Tonight I tried removing a wrap from a ce heritage 75 and the result was a melted arrow. Now this was the first reflective wrap I had tried to remove and it was a mess, so in fairness I'm not sure if it was the ce heritage or the wrap that lead me to catastrophe. I was taking the wrap off as it added 18 grains to the back of the arrow--- I didn't realize they weighed that much-- they do affect the spine... May be done with wraps...

I've taken to placing my arrow in my cresting jig and spraying a wrap on with krylon as a alternative to the stick on wrap.

Hair dryer to remove wraps works better. And then clean with Goo-be-Gone....

Fire + anything you intend to keep = bad idea. I like th hair dryer trick.
I stopped usin wraps because I found they made it 10x harder to reflect. Stripping feathers takes seconds, wraps see, to take me a lot more seconds.

Some brands of shafts the wraps come right off. And some just won't give up the sticker.
You can use the wraps to add a few grains or tune if needed.
Paint looks a lot better.

I just use a simple cigarette lighter,it will soften the wrap with very little heat.

Heat gun on low. As for re fletching, easier for me to strip a arrow with a wrap than using paint remover on a painted one. If I knew I would be replacing one feather from time to time I Fletch on bare shaft.

I like the idea of krylon. For those of you using krylon what fletching glue works well with it?
Fire + anything you intend to keep = bad idea. I'm gonna remember this quote-- it may keep me out of trouble in the future.
I did get a fletching stripper for Christmas-- one of the reasons I went to wraps was my inability to remove feathers without nicking the Carbon in spots.
Thanks for the tips.
