I have a question that I'd like to ask. I want to refinish an old bow. I'm not a bowyer or a professional painter. I don't have a spray gun and compressor, spray booth, etc. etc.. What type of finish do you recommend for a do-it-yourself refinishing project? Thanks in advance. Dan Jones
If it were me I'd use Helmsman spar urethane. Don't get carried away sanding, especially the limbs.
