BobCo19-65 - Powerful dye to take a brown shaft to white - and I did look into it
.
No, I dyed my wood shafts yellow - and it worked quite well. The bleeding effected my GL a LOT. I dipped a few dozen arrows and now how a very pretty amber colored GL - which does not llok that great over a white cap, so I had to seal that GL up and get new stuff going for my aluminum arrows. I don't reccommend dipping dyed wood shafts through your tubes thinking it won't discolor the GL - mine certainly did. Maybe a dip into the Minwax Polyacrylic first ??
Heres an idea too. Minwax makes a stain polyurethane. Stain the shaft and coat it all at once - just one or two dips, then let dry and GL coat it a few times on top of that. Wonder if it'd work ....
