Steam works the best without risk of melting the plastic vane. The glue will not be effected by heat unless they were feltched with melt glue which is not a wise practice and should be used only for inserts.
Dry heat from a hair dryer or held over a stove burner works well too but you definately have to pay attention to the vane since they can go from wavy to straight then right to melting in a fraction of a second.
i use feathers they work well but not in the rain. steam from what i have heard
I heard that you could use a hair dryer or dip them in boiling water. Sounds like steam would be a bit safer though.
Steam would increase moisture and possibly breakdown the glue, I would use a hair dryer on a low setting and watch very closely how they react. If worse comes to worse, you could just have them refletched. That's why I do my own fletching. Much easier and no waiting.
