Title: Arrow dipping ?
Post by: lpcjon2 on January 11, 2010, 02:09:00 PM
I dipped a set of arrows with spray paint( I know its the cheap way) when I was fletching them I noticed that the paint was coming off.I use ducco cement and the shafts were sealed before I painted them.Should I have sanded the sealed shaft before I painted or should I have sealed the part I dipped before I fletched them.or was it the ducco?   :confused:

I don't really know why yours did what they did, but I always do the crown prior to putting a couple coats of sealer on (dipped), then crest, then put another coat or two of sealer on before fletching.

As above, and Duco is not very agressive try to increase the dry time.

I got the shafts and they were already dipped.Next six I will sand the sealer down so the paint will have something to hold to.and then I will clear coat them before fletching. thanks guys
