Tsubaki, I will.


I use an arizona EZ fletch...have for years and love it. I have one for carbon arrows with a right helical twist.




Like this one: http://www.ezfletch.com/carbon.gif




With that said I stripped em back off today...changed a few things up abit for no obvious reason.


I am letting em dry for a few days before fletching. I also used some better paint. I didnt like the softness of the model paints. I got another half dozen I can hunt with till I finish em up and test em out.





Bow season opens tomorrow here! Woooohoooo!!!!

So that silver is paint? Looks good.

Before diabetics messed with my hands I use to build my own fishing rods. Do they do any wrapping of arrows or is it all paint??
I have a sewing machine also for wrapping and use a grill rotisserie motor for drying.

I know nothing about arrows, just asking.

Yes its silver paint.


They have arrow wraps that are stickers that replace the white part, but they are wore expensive and weigh more than just spraying with laquer spray paint.


Rottisere motor is a great Idea for drying....never thought of that. Ive used a drill motor for it...works ok.

The epoxy on rods need to turn for hours so that it doesn't sag before setting up. The rotisserie motor turns a slow perfect speed for just that.

The one I have uses 1/4 socket extension with a rubber cork on the end. I just tape the butt of the rod to the rubber and good to go.

They sell all kinds of things to get the rod to the mmotor that will get it straighter if need be, I just a DYI guy that hates to buy stuff, and in the end most of the time it would have been cheaper to buy it new!!
