Warped Arrow

I have noticed that there are a few threads here with different methods of waterproofing feathers. I have never done this for an arrow. However I fly fish and tie my own flies. Many times when tying a dry fly(one that sits on the top of the water) I use a product called WaterShed. All you do is apply it and wait 24 hours. Waterproof feathers! I have flys that have been treated this way and they literally pop back up if held underwater. The water just dont stick. What do you think about using it on flechings?
Here is a link to the product:http://www.mwflytying.com/materials/watershed.html
I have been using this stuff for years and I love it!!
Trust me, once you try this stuff, you will NEVER turn back. Another 'lil tip: When you get the bottle, you can apply only by drops. What I do is get a small spray bottle and transfer it to that. It makes applying a bit easier. I have bottles both ways on my tying desk for different applications.
