Okay just ordered all the stuff the make my first set of POC arrows and was wondering if anyone has some good tips and or tricks to watch for. I am not going to crest or crown dip just yet figured I would just taper, stain and seal, fletch, point and shoot - Any pointers?

Thanks to this great group and all your support

You can put enamel on top of laquer, but not laquer on top of enamel. What does this mean ? If you' re using Gasket Laquer, watch what you use to crest your arrows with. I normally dip 3-5 times in GL then crest, then seal the cresting with waterbased polyacrylic. Doing it wrong will result in smeared cresting lines. Use good quality brushes. Thin your paint a bit, it helps. Use a good cresting machine. Expect a learning curve and have fun -

omething to protect the cresting - ie using a water based polyacrylic. I do not know or remember if laquer goes over acrylic well or not.
