No prep needed for wraps. You'll need to clean the shaft so the wrap will adhear well. I use acetone, works great and leaves no residue. Then just set the wrap on a mouse pad or similar surface, line up the arrow and roll it onto the wrap. Then just fletch 'em up! It's that easy! Hope this helps. -Chris

Thanks alot for the reply. Have you had good luck with the fletch staying glued well?

me personaly speaking i think they stay glued better to wrapped arrows than non-wrapped arrows

Yep, I can count on one hand the number of fletchings that have come off of a wrap and that was my fault every time. The only bad part about wraps is when I'm putting the third feather on my arrow and I mess up. The only thing to do is to strip the arrow down and try again. But that's encouagement to learn how to do it right the first time! -Chris

I agree, I think the vanes adhere better to the wraps than just the bare shafts. It would take pliers to get my blazers off. I also think they are easier to refletch too. Soak the wraps in a glass of warm water for a couple of minutes than just peel them off, and there is little to no residue left on the shafts. No more scraping. :darkbeer:

I am having trouble getting my fletching to stick to my arrows, I think I am going to get some wraps to try.

I would highly recommend using wraps! i have never had one of my blazers fall off since i started using them! i just use 91% iso alcohol to prep the shaft and then apply the wrap to the shaft!

I used to use the alcohol to prep with but there is still a small amount of oils in there. Invest in the Acetone. When it comes time to re-fletch the acetone takes the glue off real easy with minimal rubbing. Just keep it away from your arrow labels. Unless of course your looking to make all black shafts.
