fat or no fat

billmac:
I got a 1000 degree heat gun yesterday.  If I want to use it to reflex limbs, so I need to put fat on the limbs first?  Doesn't that screw up the finish (unless you use fat in the finish anyway).

iv rubbed linseed oil on mine and heated out deflex and bends, it didnt  bother the finish of spar.

I use crisco shortning, it seems to keep the wood from scorching, the last bow I did I used pam spray coating, it worked also.
If you wipe with acetone before you put a finish on it will remove the oil.

AndrewS:
Normally I use sunfloweroil.
