thank you for all the replies, i guess i just need to practice with air pressure and amount of flow. i also need to try to keep a consistant speed on my passes. i have never heard of buffalo hide epoxy, where do you get it? also where do you get a badger single stage air brush? i thank you all very much for the help, i just need to keep on spray'in and keep on sand'in till i get it right. i am getting ready to start a new bow for my wife so here comes some more practice!
