Arrow cresting Feb 13, 2009 6:36:43 GMT -6 Quote Select PostDeselect PostLink to PostMemberGive GiftBack to Top Post by Ron Kulas on Feb 13, 2009 6:36:43 GMT -6 I use this method to cap and crest my hunting arrows. First I stain them and apply a coat of lacquer.While the white lacquer was drying, I built a makeshift cresting machine using my cordless drill.These arrows will have cresting that was white, black and silver.I start with the black stripes.And then the silver bands.Wraps are nice and easy but for a more custom look, I like to do it this way.
