Broadhead dip

Where do you get that protective coating you see on new saw blades and some presharpened broadheads?  Looks like a red see-through rubber.

3-Rivers has a wax type stuff that you heat and dip your blades in.  Not exactly what your talking about, but it does a decent job.  Comes off easy too.

just put some chapstick on them...works fine for keeping the blades from oxidizing and its cheaper and easier

I want it for sharpening and then storing broadheads so they don't get dull banging around.

I have seen it in the auto parts stores for dipping tools in.

Be aware that the dip-coating won't work in a bow quiver -- it comes off easily. But for long-term store, or shipping a tube-full of arrows to AK for a hunt, etc., it's excellent. And it's reusable -- when you pop it off, just stick it back in the can to remelt next time. The red kind, like KME uses, is much higher quality than the yellowish kind.

Call KME and ask them which brand they use (it is red). It should work well for your stated purpose. It will stick fairly well and should not fall off on its own. You can take a coated broadhead and press the tip against hard wood, this will pop the coating loose in one piece to quickly remove.
