Delivers as Promised
Since I started arrow building I have used Fletch Lac. It is a great product that gives me the results I desire.
Best
Always was the best and still is
Old school works best
like building things that come together well!
Old Reliable
I've used Bohning products for years. I like knowing that I have NO compatibility issues! I have always disliked the "paint can" packaging! It will not pour without a mess. For home users it would seem that a better pouring system could be devised!!!!!!!
Always perfect!
I have used this product for 30+ years. The paint is always the same from one batch to the next. I use it now mostly on my wood shafts. The only drawbacks are the slow drying time and special thinner needed. The oder can be an issue for some sensitive noises.
Its not flashy, but every arrow needs it
dip tubes and thinner are needed
PAINT
VERY PLEASED ALWAYS USE IT
Best matched system
This system is the best matched system in the archery world. All of the componates fit together and they will not react with each other.
Would buy this product again
Have used Bohning products for many years and will keep using.
I have found that Bohning products tend to only work with other Bohning products. I do not know if this finish contains a solvent or not, but I do not think that the other paint would work.

It sounds like it was put on too thick which can cause cracking

Yes you will want to wipe the aluminum shafts down with acetone first.
To the best of our knowledge this product has not been changed. It sounds like this is to thin you may be able leave the cap off for a few hours to thin it back down. I would recommend to contact Bohning first to see what they would recommend.
You will not want to use Fletch-lac with the Pre-finished shafting because on these we us the 3Rivers gasket lacquer. So if you want to use a certain color only available in the Fletch-lac you would need to start from raw shafts and use the Fletch-lac sealer.
The paint will bleed occasionally. The problem is that you dry the paint and then get it wet again when you clear coat. A majority of them will turn out. But, you will have the few that will run.
Give us a call and we can walk you through it.

The drying time on any lacquer will depend on the temperature and humidity. On average one coat will dry in 3-5 minuets.
