Drying the Finish??
« on: December 19, 2011, 10:44:00 AM »
Could someone post a pic of the way they allow their bows to dry after they've applied a finish?  I put a finish on my bow but have no good way of allowing it to dry without mucking up some part of the finish.  I'm in need of some guidance.  Any help would be much appreciated.  Thanks

If it's a takedown bow, you could hang it by the inserts or whatever hardware there is. If it's one piece, you could hang it from a string knock then just touch up the little area later.

Its a one piece.  Hanging it from the nocks is a good idea.  Thanks

I tie a loop in some fishing line and cinch it around either tip end and hang it under my basement heat duct so warm air flows over it.

Nathan I use two big spring clamps clamped to the handle like a stand and touch up the handle area later. I always wrap them any way.
