3: Use always a new point, the storm points are a bit fatter in the middle when new

I remember fitting some to the Wagner darts I had the fit was extremely tight and my hands were sore for a few days after fitting them. Thinking back now I should have may be filed them a touch to make it easier, not sure how viable it is to do that though?

I also advice 26mm smooth. [ standard length on most darts ]

When choose grip or 30mm the chance of breaking is higher

Do you suggest a drop of Lok-Tite or clear nail polish before seating them?

Do you suggest a drop of Lok-Tite or clear nail polish before seating them?

I always use a drop of blue lok-tite when seating them.  Not sure if its really needed or not as they go in real tight but I do it anyway.
