Hey Kenny, You ain't got nothing to worry about. Most folks will still get them re-fletched and spend that money. Thanks for burning that last one so we all don't feel bad when we do it to....lol
Most plastic does this. :D Think it has to do with tension in the polymer, and the freedom applied my a light melt. Contracts to a "minimum", and the curves force themselves out. S'my best guess.
This works great, and the reason why the good old boy' or grass roots system for sportsmen is still best. No one else would share this, they have nothing to gain from it.
plastic fletching manufacturers the world over ..(mostly china though) are cursing you , but we mere mortals are worshipping you ,, another top tip Kenny !! ,, you are a deadset fuken legend mate ... Thanks again ... dave from Australia.
You can also lay your fletching down on a flat surface and steam out the wrinkles with an iron. Place the fletching on the edge of a work bench and but a sock or rag on top of it. Then put your iron on steam and steam it through the sock or rag.
Jeez, awesome! Walked into the den and grabbed 5 of my arrows that had 3.125" QuikSpins all wrinkled up like the one in the video. Took a candle lighter and passed to flame over them. Voila! Absolutely straight fletchings! Not a wrinkle! Thanks a million.
Tried this and works great. On a box of old fletchings that i have it says they can be reformed with a hair dryer. Haven't tried it but just throwing that out there. It might not be so easy to burn your fletchings this way.
Well, I suppose I'm just like everyone else. I tried this as soon as I saw it. I saw it work on the video, but still couldnt believe it when it started working on my arrow. Once agian Kenny, great job!!!!
thank you so much for this useful information. I'm going to go try this out right now. Keep it up. I subscribed to you and all. Please keep on doing these great tips. and btw. is there any way that you can put up a video on how to properly use a peep sight without using the peep tubing. I have no idea how to use them. thank you
Kenny,this is a great tip, THANKS,i'll try it right after finishing my comment!Obviously this material has a "memory" and returns its form after heating like the PVC.
Boiling HOT water will do the same thing. Dip the fletch in till straight then run cold water on them right away and they will set.

just an assumption the heated plastic tightens up and i guess that why the waves on the plastic fletching goes away =)
