Can anyone give me some tips on removing old feathers and vanes from carbon arrows and not damaging the shafts :?: Thanks

What glue have you used ?
Fletchtite , I just heat it up over a steaming kettle and pull the feathers off after the glue is soft enough , then scrape the shaft with a butter knife :wink:

Coach. I bought some goldtip 3555's secondhand of a bloke to try and they have vanes glued on them.So I dont know what the glue is, but I will try your steaming trick and see how that works.
Thanks
