RE: instructional thread for capping and cresting your own arrows!
I am in the process of finishing up my FMJs.
I used Krylon Fusion. You can see the diamond plate pattern if you look hard on a couple. But they look pretty good thus far. I have three done, and shot them yesterday and did some minor retuning/sighting. Didn't have the first problem with vanes. Not one. Whatever the issue was with Goat Tuff and not bonding...it went away.
One other thing I did try...I took just a bit of 150grit sandpaper to the bottom of my Blazer vanes. Just enough to take that shiny crap off. I think that might have something to do with my success now.
