What should I use to keep my broadheads from geting rust on the sharpened edges?

VASELINE.

I've also heard of people using chapstick. 3rivers sells a coating called protect-a-edge for that purpose too.

Sharpie.

A product called "Reel Magic" works great too. Made to spray fishing reels and line. It dries totally odorless, I think its a silicone base. But it doesnt leave residue and I respray whenever I touch up the heads. Leaves a very slick finish.
Before this, I used corn oil, chapstick or beeswax.

I used some recently. Figured whyt not. I can always just melt it off.

Shouldn't hurt anything, right?

Vaseline, used it for years. Kind of like cosmoline on a gun.

I dip mine in vaseline while they are still warm from the glue.

I use a thin coating of WD40 or honing oil.

Charlie Lamb · « **Reply #18 on:** September 09, 2011, 01:33:00 PM »

Same as Jason.

If you're going to use Vaseline, make sure and wipe it off after applying so there's no excess.... I've heard it can have coagulating properties.

I just use a black sharpie marker. Sime and does the trick and will not leave a residue inside your quiver.
