How do you crimp brass shot shells?  What tools do you use?

I don't crimp them, I use some nail polish and seal a over shot card.

i use a 45 brass as a punch and cut the cork sheets you buy  and seal them with paraffin(wax)may try nail polish.

You don't need a "crimp" on brass cases. I just glue an overshot card on top of the shot column and seal it with glue.  I sorta roll the mouth of the case on a hard surface to "round over" the mouth of the case to make it chamber easily.

Fletching glue works great.  You can get it at any archery supply.  Any water proof wood glue works ok too, just takes a while to dry.
