Well, I measured off my Gold Tips and sprayed the crowns with white Bruning Silothane Gloss Enamel. I let the shafts dry between coats, and it took three coats to cover.

After drying again, I put them into my crester, and just kinda went for broke -- no templates or anything. Figured if the first one turned out good, I could make one off that.

They look good, but next time I think I'll work harder at getting the old fletching glue off, as well as putting at least a couple coats into the cresting as well. I used red over the white, and it's a bit thin.

Also found out it makes a difference which direction your crester's spinning! <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

Haven't sealed anything yet, but guess I'll use the poly then gasket lacquer if I can find it before fletching with Duco -- If I remember everyone's best suggestions.

Thanks for all the help, ladies and gents; look's like this is gonna be kind of fun -- and addicting.
