This afternoon I tried to remove some wraps from some AD Shafts by boiling. This was my first try, and it didn't work out to good. :scared: Trying to pull the hot wrap from a hot shaft is not fun. I managed to get one removed and called it. :banghead:

This is Pepper she was watching the whole thing. And was thinking she might get a snack out of the deal. :D

Can you try a blowdryer?
-
Hehe, have Pepper gnaw them off :)
-
Could try one at a time...
-
Tried one at a time. These are One Stringer Arrow wraps with double dogs on them. The double dog is a clear thinner wrap that protects the main wrap. I am going to try a heat gun on a low setting. I should have just left them alone, nothing was wrong with them.

Better living through chemistry, however health side-effects can be entertaining. I've used MEK with good results.

I see someone else likes to work in the kitchen! :)
Isn't that too much heat for the carbon? How much is too much? I have had a lot of frustration getting wraps off, too. Less work, in my mind, to work the hours needed at my job and buy new shafts!

I find I do better just to use a old blade and srape them off. I then use goo be gone from Walmart. Gets the rest of the glue off, I then use alohol for a final cleaning prior to new arrow wrap / fethers.

Tried them all on my AD's. boiling, blowdryer, chemicals, etc. Only thing I've found to work for ME is a good sharp utility knife. Be Careful!!! :scared:

That's what I do.

i've given up on wraps, too dang much trouble getting them off the arrows without potential shaft damage. but they sure do look spiffy ...

Rob that's what I think also . I agree they are really cool though :bigsmyl:
-
I use acetone to remove my wraps and wrap all my arrows.After the wrap is gone cleanup is easier than glued directly to shaft.
-
No wraps here....they only have to suit me anyway, and all I require is that they hit where I'm shooting.
-
You guys make it way too hard.
Here is a how to video.

Oh! Paul, I also make a big mess in the kitchen. That's why my wife keeps me out of it.

Kevin beat me to the Sponge Bob comment!

I double dog dare ya! lol. Pepper eeirly looks like my yorkie Cojo when he thinks he's getting a snack too.
I really like chartreuse wraps as they have helped me find my arrow many times, but man you are right, they are a major pita to take off!

Being one who works on golf clubs all the time (graphite shafts).. I use a curved blade (stanley knife) lots Quicker.. Less HAnd torque.. Fits carbon shafts perfectly.. MY wife would KILL me if I used HER hairdryer..( I don't have much hair) :biglaugh: :biglaugh:

I am going to give my heat gun a try on a low setting.
Kevin, You should have saw the look on my wife face when she saw the shafts on the stove. :scared: She was just getting home from work.
