Spray Paint Cresting
http://www.texastrackers.com/Videos/Arrows.wmv
I saw this link posted on archerytalk.com and thought I would post it over here to see what others think about this idea. Seems like an inexpensive way to crest your arrows. Anyone tried it? What kind of results have you had? Any tips? Thanks,

So acetone does not affect the glue that holds the carbon together? (honest question, I don't know) That and the smell of the dried paint would concern me. The smell will eventually diminish but it does take some time.

I might give this a try on a half dozen arrows and see how it works.

Acetone only works when it is wet. Once it evaporates it is done. At least that has been my experience with it. As far as the paint smell, I would imagine it would take a while but not too long. Maybe a couple days or so depending on humidity. Again, this is just experience from the past. I can't smell like a deer can.

RE: Spray Paint Cresting
It shouldnt weaken the glue holding the arrow together. I always use acetone when whiping shafts clean before refletching, and have never had a problem with it. Im going to have to try the spray paint though.

RE: Spray Paint Cresting
That looks great!!
Cheap, easy, only 1 grain, and completely customizable.
I am using aluminum, so the acetone shouldn't be a problem.
MartinDK, the paint is actually laquer.
I have to assume that's the best kind to use.
