Every Sharpie I've ever used smelled to high heaven.

Are you guys using a different brand?

I did up a few feathers Thurs night and they still stink this Sat Morn.

I always coat my feathers with "no snow", and you have to let that dry for a day or two so they don't smell. I haven't notices a sharpie smell after a few days. But, I don't think I have ever made arrows and gone hunting with them the next day. I generally practice with them for a while before they go hunting with me. they have plenty of time to not smell anymore.

Mine don't smell that I have noticed at all. I did mine with a Sharpie about a month ago.

Might be the secret right there!
Just have to do em way ahead of time.

Thanks guys!

BTW the sharpie sure isn't as messy...
I was mixing some dye+meth+vinegar yesterday and got a case of butter fingers...still have black paws...lol

HA HA HA! Yea man! We have all been there. Good luck with that part... $1 store latex gloves... come in handy for stuff like that.

Good luck, and post some pics so we can see your progress.
