I decided to put some skins on one of my bows. For the last few weeks, I've been searching and reading every thread on here about applying snake skins, but I still haven't found an answer.
What is the difference between tung oil and tru oil? Are they both water resistant/waterproof? I've read a lot of posts about the two but still can't make up mind. The method I've chosen is to use TBIII for the glue, skip the super glue step due to varying reports, apply either tung or tru oil, and maybe finish it with a light satin poly spray. Which one works better for a finish over snake skin? I don't have any tru oil to test, but I do have some Formby's Tung Oil, which from what I read is actually a wiping varnish/oil mix. I'm backing a glass bow and I'd like to end up with a smooth dull finish. Any help, comments, or pictures would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Matt
