Bow Finish Question
«

February 04, 2008, 11:30:00 PM »
I recently acquired this bow and it had some small nicks in it. There were 4-5 spots the size of a pencil eraser where the matte finish had "flaked" off to reveal a gloss coat underneath. I started scratching at one spot and the matte just kept coming off.
:eek: NOW I'm committed. I started sanding but is there an easier way to get this non-adhering matte finish off?
Thanks for any help. Mark

Buck, if I had to guess I'd say it was probably sprayed with fullerplast. I've done a few bows with the stuff that didn't eventually start flaking. But I''ve done a few that did that exact same thing after a year or so. Unfortunately, sanding is the only way I know of.

Actually you can use a good, straight sided cabinet scraper to speed the process. You'll need to refresh the edge frequently, but it works.
