Is there a carbon arrow shaft primer that will improve the adhesion of spinwing vane adhesive tape?

? I don't have any problem. It is Spinwings brand, rather than Kurleys or Elivanes?

I used to use kitchen scourer cream (non-bleach variety). Rinse and let dry.
And apply tape to the vanes rather than the shaft. And top'n'tail...

Just wipe them down with alcohol or acetone; takes a fair amount of surface crap off.
Just a note that nail varnish remover, whilst mostly (usually) acetone, can contain oils which are probably good for nails but not great for adhesion

DON'T buy nail varnish remover. You can buy a litre of acetone or isopropyl alcohol off of Amazon for about a tenner. Either would easily be enough for, say 1,000 arrows ��

Thanks for the replies. I was curious because I have seen a 'primer pen' advertised and at about ?12 it is pretty expensive.
