Title: First Cresting Attempt, but....
Post by: EASTERNARCHER on May 17, 2009, 05:40:00 PM

Rained all day, so I puttered around til I decided to try some creating for the first time.
These were laying around so I wrapped, fletched with 5" helical and added some cresting to break up the blah look. I figure it ain't bad for using black permanent sharpies and gold paint/ink pen for pinstripes.

Now can anybody tell me what I can use to seal these crests without wiping them out? I tried several things on a test piece but they most all smeared 'cept for Exterior varathane with a gentle wipe on.

Those look pretty nice, way better than my sharper marker jobs.

Nice lookin' arrows!
