Afraid I made a terrible mistake

I've rubbed it with alcohol yesterday and the day before yesterday. Looks better, feels smoother, but the brown spots are still there. I think acetone or WD40 spray might be a good idea.

It still shoots well though, I shot an arrow into the tree behind my target today, and couldn't get it out, no matter how hard I tried. And then it broke

WD40 is good stuff I forget about. Its good for tape residue but still takes alot of elbow grease. I'm lazy and go for something stronger. I think  your on the right path and are going to get it worked out without refinishing :thumbsup

Hopefully that's the case  

Found out about the finish BTW. It's Thunderbird Sealer (Polyurethane). So it's quite tough.

I keep a light coat of Turtle Wax or Mcquires on all my bows and arrows including old and new, one of which is a TH Diamond. Wouldn't leave home without it!

I refinish every used bow I get. Hardly any work at all. Like many have suggested. Lightly sand the bow and get all the wax you put on, off. You don't have the get to the wood. Get all the wax off and spray with an outdoor Poly, give it a light coat and sand with 00 stell wool then give it another coat and you are good to go
( Just a side note, next time you have a problem with a bow don't go on a website complainig there is a problem with a bow when you don't know what you are talking about, you didn't have to say what kind of bow it was. Do you think they appreciate you basically saying to the world they have a crappy finish)

I do not record mentioning that the finish was crappy. Neither do I record stating that there was a problem with the bow. Only after I, myself, made a mistake. I love the bow, it's absolutely fabulous.

Thank you for commenting though
