Misleading description

You guys need to calibrate your tape measure. It is not the "15 inches" as advertised, but 13 3/4" total length. So you cannot double dip to coat an entire shaft.

The best

I have 6 small ones and 3 big ones. They are the best for the paints and sealers. When I get a new color I put about 6 ounces of lacquer thinner in and shake it. Then wipe out with rags. They are built well and the tops do not leak.

I have made my own paint tube out of ABS but this is a beautiful thing no muss no fuss dip it in pull it out slowly and one painted arrow pretty slick and clean up is even better have to try it to believe it.

This makes sealing arrows fast and hassle free. Fill it up, push in the shaft, slowly pull out. It's that easy. Great tool for getting kids involved by letting them help you build your arrows.
Pro Dipper with lid and dipping system
Erik

For a long period of time I followed the old tip of using a piece of cloth, filled with lacquer to use on the wooden shafts. Putting the Pro Dipper at work, I find it very easy and productive in a simple manner, making the lacquer process very eaqsy and accurate. If you buy the dipping system and add a lit, you can preserve the content inside the dipping tube for a period of time.… read more Stir it befor use with an old arrow and you are ready for another lacquer session, so smooth and easy and the tiny amount of lacquer that is automatically put on the shafts, makes it woth buying
Great for arrow crafters

I have sealed many arrows using this technique and this tube and it does a great job. I find a black and decker workmate or the harbor freight knock off of the workmate to be a good arrow making table because it has holes to hold your arrows to dry between dippings. i generally do three dips and c an do a dozen arrows in about an hour
Good tool. Convenient.

It works rather well. The color is deep and it covers the arrows in a thin and accurate layer/ But we also use a pieces of cotton cloth to paint the arrows, this way a little dirty but efficient enought too))

10 years ago
In my experience, color doesn't work with the gaskets. If its a crown dip with stain on wood yes but otherwise your best bet is to just dip and hang the arrows letting the excess run off, the old school way. Make sure the laquer will fall off well before dipping the full batch, you might do a "test dip" on one shaft or an old shaft to make sure it's not too thick, thin as needed. Thank you, -Geoff Smeenge-
I will not be much help I have never tried to use colored laquer
10 years ago
I will not be much help I have never tried to use colored laquer only clear. I would imagine that you may have to dip the arrows several times in order to get the desired color. Sorry that I cannot offer more definitive help.
