These last ones I used just one dip and drip. It appears quite thick

Glad you like it, I tried it on some woods. The targets where I shoot are bales made from carpet. I had to clean off the “stuff” after each shot. I used a foam brush to apply. I started out just doing the cap and crested area but thought why not. Did the whole shaft, 18 of them. They work better on 3D targets, not so much stuff.
I wax the snot out of them before using. That lasts for a couple targets. They are in the rack now, waiting for a shoot in the high country where rocks are king.

Good to hear Kirk, are you going to let us see your latest creations?

Well, I would...if I created anything lately. My son's Christmas arrows was the last batch. I guess I gotta get out and break some arrows so I have a reason to make more.

What do you estimate the weight of one coating to be Kirk?
The element of surprise can never be replaced by persistence.

IDK. I did not weigh the arrows before/after. Next batch I will.
