For those of you who have used it before what did you use to apply it? rag, sponge brush, etc, and how many coats did you apply, I'm re-doing a newer Super K that I applied snake skins to and thought the minwax might work well.
i have used it before.used a rag,the ones you buy in the paint dept. at wal-mart work great not alot of lint left over,i suppose you could also use a sponge never tried it.another good finish to use is tru-oil. as far as coats i use 3-4 with some fine steel wool sanding in between coats.
get a tac rag, 0000 steel wool, and apply with a white cotton T shirt...ive done many bows with wipe on poly...turns out great and its a durable finish!
I use some finish applicator pads like these finish pads (http://www.woodcraft.com/Product/2004804/8836/Finish-Applicator-Pads.aspx)
and they work well for me. I don't have any good old t-shirts, or I'd probably use them if I did. Oh yea, and I usually do 3 coats.

I use T-shirt as well.Cut it in a square and fold it over once or twice to thicken it up a tad.Works great.Finished a few bows and they turned out very good.Works well on arrows to.
yup, steelhead is on the money....i forgot to add to cut it into squares! i also dip my arrows with WOP. the stuff is great!
nope you need to use a paper coffee filter ! yes its true paper coffee filters do not lieve fuzz in you coffee of on your bow they work great.bd
Just used wipe-on, with good results. I used a lint free rag, and just a little poly. When I put it on too thick, it dried lumpy. I put on 5 coats, and it turned out better than I expected.
I am going to try the coffee filter trick!
Thanks guys, I put the first coat on last night using a coffee filter as I have plenty of them, seemed to work real well.
