My question is has anyone ever soaked wood arrows in watco teak oil to add grain weight,and then sealed them with gasket laquer?
If you are going to soak the shafts in an oil base, a wipe on poly or simular will work out better than GL. GL will not adhere to the oil base very well.
The problem with gasket laquer is that it relly doesn't stick to anything well. It makes a coating on wood arrows that is fast and looks good but once chipped it will peel off easily.
like above I'd use some type of poly.

Thanks for the info guys. I think you just saved me a bid headache!
Can you use the poly with the gaskets or just dip them w/out the gasket?
When I tried poly with the gaskets, I could never get a very good coat. The poly was so thin, it almost wiped all of it off pulling it thru the gasket.
