Post by: Toklat1 on March 14, 2009, 07:58:00 PM
Does anyone know if there is any way to remove glue on nocks from cedar arrows? I would appreciate any ideas.

Butane lighter and heat the knock until it is soft and begins to melt a tad. Grab with pliers, twist and pull.

Grab with a pair of pliers and gently wiggle until they pop off. You will have to scrape some qlue and plastic off but they will clean up nice for you. A bit of heat from a heat gun will help if you need it.

I lightly tap them with a hammer a few times. Not hard, just enough to crack the glue. Then pull off with pliers. Scrape off what is left with a blade and you are good to go.

Squeeze them lightly in a couple different spots with pliers. And they just pop off.
