What to do when your backing gets wet......
Marin:
I had already put a coat of glue on it by the time Dave responsded, sorry. I did it, however, feeling that the bow had fully hardened, it being a day since it got a bit wet. I made sure to lightly sand off the remained with some 220.
Do you think waiting 3 weeks should be fine?
superdav95:
I think you’ll be fine. You could still scuff up the sealer you put on with your 220 like you said and then leave it alone for a couple weeks or more in ac environment in the house and then seal it up. Should be good to go then. By sanding off the sealer a little it may help ya to get rid of any potential trapped moisture left and then seal it and finish up the bow. Best of luck.
Marin:
Good idea, I'll go do that right now. Thanks for the advice. How many weeks though since it last got wet should I wait however? Is it okay just to wait 2 or 3?
superdav95:
If in an ac house it should only need 2 weeks I would say then seal it up. If you caught it quick enough and got most of the water wiped off you should be good in a couple weeks.
Marin:
Okay thanks. I’ll give it another week from Monday then seal it up and start lightly tillering a day after the seal dries. I hope I understood properly what you meant.
Whenever someone says a couple, I think anywhere from 2 to 7 so thanks for clearing that up.
