Thanks Dianna,
Is there an echo in here?<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle> I can held the mess around with it part! I can clean up the nock tapers OK, what I'm trying to avoid is a lot of paint thickness on the crown area, after I've tapered the shaft itself. I think ol' Richie got more than he bargained for here, but it's a favorite topic for a lot of us.

Tom (wallypedal) or Wally or whatever
