Wood arrow making confusion

Thanks Bjorn,
I quit the gasket lacquer years ago, just was not water proof.

Do you use a gasket or just dip like with Bohnings .

Well that's interesting. Which finishes are weather resistant and which aren't?

I still use the time tested fletch lac,but remember it's lacquer based so the paint for dip and the glue for fletching also has to be lacquer..Seal the arrows first then dip and crest or they'll run..you must use fletch lac glue also ,(no Duco)--Epoxy or hot melt is OK for the tips..You can use automotive lacquer. Fletch lac (brand) doesn't recommend it,but it's still compatable..

I use a product called Zip-Guard a waterbase poly. Will clear over every paint and stain that I have ever tried in the last 20 plus years that I have been using it. No smell and is thin like water. Only need 2 coats. Best clear on the market , but hard to find.
