I did try them out on .a piece of scrap and it looked good and they are all acrylic .It only cracked on the belly side after shooting maybe a couple dozen arrows.
I will take it back down and try your combo.

Thank you

WITCH HALF ???

The problem with a rattle can finish is you can easily get too much material on it in one coat. You are much better using multiple light coatings.  You can have issues much the same using a spray gun with too big of tip.

I'd recommend trying Helmsman spar varnish. It's user friendly and holds up pretty well. Staying with one type of finish will help too...

When i spray my finishes i use a high build gloss material that lays down nicely, and on my final coats i turn up the pressure, adjust the fan to a fine mist, and hold the gun back about 12" when spraying.  This gives you a fine matte finish that is a non reflective with a satin look .

It's definately worth going to an air gun if you want a professional finish.    Kirk

Did you test to see if the two finishes are compatible?

I use the duplicolor auto clear coat and then a couple coats of the wheel finish to matte it

The wheel finish doesn't seal up well imo so it is only to kill the shine for me

Is there a number that is listed for you to try to call him? I have never heard of him personally.

I have the string half done!! 

Man Ive got to get moving

Well things did not go as planned. The doc had about 4-5 delay. They gave us an option to go home and reschedule so we resheduled.need the doc fresh anyhow.

Victims bow is shipped will land on hopefully the right front porch this week.

Have any of you Tradgangers ever ordered a Hill style longbow from Donato Milesi in Italy?
Nate Steen talks about him in his blog. His bow making lineage goes back to John Schulze, and by all accounts he makes a quality longbow true to the vision of Howard Hill. I found his web page, but it is all in Italian. From what I can cypher, his bows are in the $700-$1000 range when I do the Euro conversion. I have no idea how I would go about placing an order working out all the details - woods, glass color, length, weight.....
