Making arrows

[gwynn]

Daniel [disguised as English Bowman] you're a pig! Those arrows were a fashion disaster and should_never_be_mentioned_again.
Saying that, I could not lose any, [ and no one would steal them] no matter how hard I tried and had to resort to breaking them by wrapping them around trees.
Even now the odd six inch piece of garish blue/yellow/green shaft, peeking out of some undergrowth, mocks me.
Embarrasing.
Best forgotten about.
Please.

I made a dip tube once- and then unmade it very quickly. Sheesh, what a mess!

I now use spraypaint to seal my arrows. I like Plasti-Kote clear polyurethane as a varnish.

If you want to do a fluorescent 'cap dip' spray a layer of flat white on first- it makes the fluo a lot brighter. And if you stagger the paint lines you won't get a hard shoulder where they end.
