Good rattle can finish??
« on: December 19, 2011, 09:35:00 AM »
Hey Gang,

I have a 3 pc LB that I've sanded the finish off of (too shiny for my taste). I took the riser down to wood and I've just scuffed the limbs so far.

What's a good satin spray that I can get at one of the big box stores that will work good and provide a durable finish?

Thanks in advance,
Carl Kossuth

Ive never had one not work. Just make sure the bow is dry and buff between coats. Three coats minimun for me. More coats equals a thicker, more durable finish to me.

Helmsman spar urethane. Spray gloss first (it's tougher), then throw a coat of satin on last if you don't want the shine. I put 2-3 light coats on before I sand with a 320 grit thin sanding sponge in between coats. Very durable stuff.
