All,

I have seen some stuff in the past that is like a rubber coating on the edges of tools like saw blades and chisels.  I tried to do that this year using a cheap hot glue stick on a broadhead and unfortunately it stuck a little too well.  Does anybody have any ideas for ways to protect the edge of a broadhead in storage.  I put either Vaseline or paste wax on them in the quiver but was hoping to come up with something a little more substantial for 3rd or 4th string arrows or long term storage.

I had bought some a long time ago from one of the archery suppliers. I still use it for travelin. It came in a little pie dish. You heat it up on the stove then dip the edge.

That sounds like what I need,  I couldnt find it on 3 rivers and I hate ordering for just one thing anyway, usually shipping is more than the item.

Plasti Dip.  Its what people dip pliers grips in etc.

Google it.  They sell Plasti Dip on Amazon or in stores.  Home Depot or Lowes may have it.

Hey that might work

you can buy it a Kustom King Archery

Elmer's makes an aerosol product called "Slide All" that is very good. I have found it in Ace True Value Hardware Stores.

guys, use chapstick.Cheaper, easy to reapply. works great.

One of the high end broadhead manufactures sell what your talking about but I don't remember which one now. If you know any machinist's, some of their tooling comes completely encased in it I believe. I acquired a good bit of it at my last job, the die sets for the grommet machines came incased in it and it's reusable. Also a lot of circular saw blades come with on their teeth so if you know somebody that uses the bigger saw blades atwork might be able to help you out.

Caleb,

This is the stuff you're looking for:

It's not expensive but I think they may have a minimum order. I used the red and may still have a couple bars laying around at the shop. (Not sure). Larry at Abowyer BHDs uses the green formulation. You'll need a small electric skillet and the stuff needs to be heated up very slowly. Let me know if you have any difficulty finding it and I'll look around the shop. I'll send you a couple bars if I can find it.

Just carry a file......  

Ron,  

Thanks for the offer I will let you know.

I get a torch and melt bees wax, then dip the sharp blade in it. Cools fast, no unnatural smell and keeps them from rusting. does not interfere with shooting either.
