Any tips for cleaning the Ferr-l-tite out of some previously mounted Eskimos and Magnus II 2 blades. Thanks in advance for the help.

Hold the head with pliers over a flame until the glue dissolves.
If you are puting them on another arrow, just heat them and reuse. Alan
Put them in boiling water for a little bit and then clean the ferrule with paper towel, steel wool (000), or a .30 cal bore brush.
Any time you "burn out" old glue, you're gonna make residue that's danged hard to get out of there. Slow and easy works. ;)
I had to do that just a couple days ago. My solution was to put bronze bore brush in my cordless drill. A few seconds per head, and they cleaned right up. I needed to put screw-in adapters in my Magnus heads.
Toss them in a can of acetone or laquer thinner overnight.
Use a propane torch on low flame. Hold the heads by the tip with pliers and heat the ferrule. Take Q-tips and twist them into the ferrule down to the end and take them out. You can also wipe the walls of the ferrule. I always turn the Q-tip around and do it a second time. You can see the glue come out and when the Q-tips come out clean, you know you got it all. Quickest and cleanest way to do it.
Why?
I just heat and reuse.

all depends on what you glue em on with if it is hot melt no problem heat and re use if it is epoxy you got to make sure you get it all out.
