Proper Feather / Vane Removal
  • The safe method is to use the Deco Wrap.
  • The Deco Wrap will adhear to the arrow shaft securely, but when needed the Deco Wrap will come off the arrow shaft with no damage to the arrow shaft. (with your fingers it does take a bit to remove)
  • On the Deco wrap you can use regular fletching glue, any vane tape (double sided), or my favorite is extra thick super glue using a super glue accelerator with it.


    Attaching Vanes / Feathers

  • Attaching the vanes / feathers make sure the arrow shaft is clean and free of grease and oils.

  • Then attach your vanes / feathers in your normal manner.

    Removing Vanes / Feathers

  • When removing your vanes / feathers be extra careful, if you shave off any carbon fibers on the arrow shaft the arrow is no good, and we recommend that you throw it away. (or you can use it as a wind flag stick :-) )

  • You should use a Dull knife or razor to remove your vanes / feathers. Keep the blade angle less than 45o to the arrow shaft.
  • The flatter the blade the better it is. Keeping the pressure of the blade light against the arrow shaft, remove the vanes / feathers with a quick smooth stroke, take off any excess with the same pressure and movement.
  • Any left over glue you can remove with the same movement.
  • Solvents may take too long and you risk the chance of breaking down the arrow resin.
  • Remember "Keep the Pressure Light and the Blade Flat" this will help minimize any damage to your arrow shaft.
