Snake skins

<< < (2/2)

Agbowyer:
Like Greg, I usually remove the scales after I put the skin on the bow. One important note to using tape, pull the tape off in the direction the scales lay. Don't pull against the grain. If you do you might actually rip the skin. Never a good thing... Chris

Pappy:
Been there done that Chris.I try to rub off the worst before I put them on and then rub
off the rest after they are glued down.Just a rag rubbing with the scales will get them off pretty easy. :)

GregB:

Good point Chris and Pappy, something else that Pappy finally got drilled into my head is to always lightly sand/steelwool between coats of sealer also in the direction of the scales...not against them.  :)
