To wrap or Dip?


Recommended Posts

I just purchased my new arrows for the season and i've always fletched my own arrows. I've always used 7" wraps in the past and have had great luck with them. But the issue comes down to having to replace the wrap everytime i wanta refletch the arrow. I've been reading more into Arrow Dipping and am looking for information on how the paint holds up when refletching the arrow?

I've always been a wrap guy myself. I wouldn't think a dip tank and cresting supplies would be very economical unless you're fletching a lot of arrows. Arrow wraps have become so affordable with so many designs, it's the way to go for sure. I use a blowdryer on mine when trying to remove fletching/wraps. It helps alot. Otherwise, just take a razorblade and scrape it off under the base of the fletch and refletch over the same area. It may not look as good as the first go-around, but it'll get the job done.

I'm not sure how the Fletch Lac would hold up over time & re-fletching multiple times. Maybe someone else can chime in adn answer that part of your question.

thanks, i'll use that hair dryer trick and try that. I decided go with wraps again. I just thought that the paint might cause to many other weight issues, chips off, etc. But i would like to hear any experices with dipping arrows. Just to know. Thanks
