I get my Gasket Lacquer from Sticks and Feathers Arrowsmithing. Troy has some that's a little better price than the rest of the vendors.

You'll also need a Big Dipper tube and the gasket lacquer cap and gasket (get a couple of gaskets, they do wear).

The first couple sets of arrows I made were dipped in polyurethane. It was a big pain in the butt. I hung them to dry and had finish dripping off all over the place. Additional coats took place over a period of days as the finish dried for the next coat.

When I found gl I was amazed at how well it worked. No dripping and it dried so fast I could do the next coat as soon as I'd dipped a dozen shafts. 4 - 5 coats in less than a half hour and it looked incredible. A half hour for the finish to get a little harder and I put on nocks; another half hour for the Duco to dry under the nocks and I was ready to fletch.

As has been stated, Duco is the glue to use for nocks and feathers. I get mine at Walmart since it's less than a dollar a tube there. Most other places have it at over $2 for the same tube.

I use Rit dye and analine dye to stain my shafts under the gl. I occasionally have bleeding problems on the first dip into the gl but they're nothing to worry about as they are minimal and the arrow still looks the same.

Hope that helps. Guy
