Re: Bohning Blazer
Scotch brite or 150 grit emory clothe is great to use for prepping the shaft for fletching. I just use alcohol on a paper towel and clean the sanded area. If I'm using Marco vanes, I do wipe the base of the fletching off as well with alcohol. I'm just finishing up a new dozen GT's that my wife got me early for Christmas with the Blazers.
Also, on the insert end of the shaft, I take a 22 cal. bristled cleaning brush, and scuff up the inside of the shaft just a bit. So the glue will have something better to adhere to when dried. Prior to placing the insert intot he shaft I use alcohol and a Q-tip to clean all the graphite dust from being cut and scuffed. That powder is just like a anti-seize for lue or epoxy.
Alcohol is my preferred cleaner, acetone is just to strong is my opinion. I know acetone works great for taking wraps or dipped arrows off.
