MQ1shooter - I still have decided that in the future, I will either spray paint the crown or dip it in white Gasket Laquer, then crest and polyacrlyic dip twice, then finish it off with 3 more coats or so of clear gasket laquer. Although it takes time to do the dips, and let dry not to mention the time involved in cresting, they are worth it and I have found no better way to do it
Electircal tape works well but looks, well, like cheap electrical tape and I haven't done the fletchtape yet.
