Cleaning bolts before fletching

Post by BryanOney »

I have heard of people using acetone or alcohol to clean aluminum shafts before fletching them. Will both of these work or is there something better. Do carbon shafts have to be cleaned before fletching. What works well to clean the carbon shafts. Thanks

If you have the patience Ajax is the best. If you use alcohol use 99%. Acetone should be applied on a rag but be quick because it will eventually break down the bond between the carbon fibers if let on too long or too much used on the rag.
Some people just like stepping on rakes
