Just fyi, deft dissolves with insect repellent, so I quit using it on my bows, I'd stay with a poly or something like thunderbird. Know that cure time is important to durability and most products take a LONG time to fully cure. The process can be sped up with heat and air flow, i.e. put a fan on it and heat lamp, or leave it out in the sun to cure, even better on a sunny, breezy day. I like to do a fingernail check to see how its doing, just press in a fingernail and see if it leaves a mark, if so, then it needs more time. Some products won't cure fully for MONTHS if applied thick.
