Almost time to Refletch Axis
Well, enough pass throughs on the target mean it's almost time to start refletching my 340's.
I checked with dealer, they originally fleteched with Fletch Tite Platinum. From reviews here, I think I'll stick with that as an adhesive.
I also asked how they strip old adhesive, and they say careful scraping and then clean up with acetone or denatured alcohol. Anyone got any further comments on that?
Finally, I know when fletching new carbons, you're supposed to rough up the area first...but if the arrows have been fletched once, do you still have to do that?
Now I just need to decide which Arizona I'm getting ... straight (1 deg) or right hel. I will be fletching with vanes...or possibly quick spins (once I see more reviews here). I'm shooting fixed 100 gr. Rocky Titaniums.

cut off most of the old vane.. still leaving the base of the vane attached.. then soak the tail end in some acetone for 10-15 min... this will eat/disolve the glue and then you can just wipe them clean and refletch w/ no damage to the shafts.
