Question about sealing an ipe bow.
Jesse:
Thanks guys. Hey northshore-- what kind of finish does that give? What brands of shellac and linseed do you use?
Kowechobe-- how do you bone a bow? Im not sure Im comfortable boning something with hawg fat lol.
Thanks again
Jesse
Badger:
I use bees wax on ipe, shoe polish would likley work pretty good as well, moisture is no big deal with ipe, it doesnt seem to absorb much. steve
Justin Snyder:
I could be mistaken, but I think degreasing it before you sealed it would have solved all you problems. Most paints and sealers do not like oily wood, even if they are oil based products. I degrease everything before I seal it, just out of caution. Justin
NOMADIC PIRATE:
A satin finish,...brands?.I'll check ;)

One problem is you can't spray lacquer over Truoil.It will scale up and look like crap.Found out from experience.
