Title: Eco-Dipper
Post by: Stone Knife on November 21, 2011, 06:42:00 AM
Has anyone tried the Eco-Dipper from 3Rivers? I want to make up some white shafts and that looks like the ticket, just want some input.

My buddy has one and uses it for all his wood shafts. No muss no fuss, dips directly from the can of gasket lacquer so no tubes to fill.  I plan to order one myself.

I watched the fella demonstrate it at a shoot. Works pretty slick!

I use a 4" dip tube which I can do a dozen shafts at a time. I just hang it above and it drips back in the tube. No mess and very fast.Cost less then $25.00 to make it.

I use it and it works well.Gasket lacquer works best but does'nt hold well under rain.Using eco-dipper is fast, easy and clean.

I only use the eco dipper. I have done 10 or 12 dozen arrows. I had trouble with it sealing on the first set because i used oil based stain. I switched to water based and hadnt had anynore problems.I can seal and crest in about an hour. I also got the white for cap dips but i couldnt get it to cover right. I suggest using a dip tube for caps.
