alternatives to varathane for skins on limbs
« on: January 26, 2007, 12:38:00 PM »
I can't find the Varathane reccomended for the final coats on snake skinned limbs. All I can find  in the can is oil based. Any alternative suggestions? Thanks,  Michael

I have used satin spar urathane for the last few bows I have backed with snakes. Looks really good.

Tongue Oil has always worked well for me, but it does give it a bit of yellow tint.  The other finish I have had good results with is the Massey finish, diluted epoxy.

The broadhead used, regardless of how sharp, is nowhere as important as being able to place it in the correct spot.

Eric, will the spar urethane yellow with time?
