You can buy a plastic, resealable dip tube from 3 Rivers or Kustom Kinf for less money than you could build a dip tank.

I made mine out of scrap PVC I had laying around. I used 1.5 and 1". Getting ready to try the Eco Dipper from 3 Rivers and may ditch my old dip tubes if it works as advertised with my coatings.

If you built it from PVC be wary if you use any solvent thinners.

I'm sure leaking out $50 of Bohning paint all over the back porch has led to the demise of many a diy fletchers, the married ones anyway.
