Hi Guys.
Since I don`t live in the US, I can`t get finishes made for bows like Tunderbird and such, without paying a lot on shipping.
So, I want to ask- what other finishes can I use for glass bows?
Please mention the kind of finish and not just the brand name, since a lot of the brands you guys have- I can`t get here.
I prefere spray finishes since they are easier to apply then using a brush. Wipe on is also good....
Thanks

Spar urethane comes to mind.
A polyurethane or alkyde/polyurethane that is used for wood floors is working fine.
Find out what they use to paint car wheels ;)
I put the car wheel stuff on one a couple months ago and it is quite satisfactory.
I wanted to do another but it's too cold where the wife will tolerate it. :) It is probably available in Israel. The desire for shiny wheels is universal.
I use the auto clear coat first, then matte wheel finish(same brand) to dull it down for hunting bows.
How about water based lacquers? Or
Krylon clear spray lacquer?
Any good?
Water based lacquer - No
Krylon - umm not really. As I said just call a Custom car spray shop ;) you must be able to get VHT wheel lacquer.
How about wipe on poly (or a homemade version of it- poly+thinner)?
I `m not very good with brushed finishes... :(
