So I got ahead of myself and I'm afraid I may have messed up my bow.  I'm trying to skin, well I did skin, my take down recurve.  I didn't superglue the edges and am noticing the edges are rough.  I've applied two coats, rubbed on, of MinWax Clear Satin Urethane.  Can I apply superglue to the edges or will it screw up the finish?  Also, can I place a coat or two of Tru Oil on top of the Urethane?  Or will that screw it up?  Help please, thanks!  :confused:

usually you put the urethane over the truoil to cut the shine down. as far as the superglue i cant say i know if it will work or not, usually i do all that before i put any finish on at all.

Thanks Richard.  I didn't look too closely at them this morning but it seems as though the areas I was concerned about are laying flat.  I guess a few more coats of urethane and only time will tell.

i smooth the edges of my skins with superglue and sandpaper, until im satisfied with the transition into the limb side. you could probably try the superglue somewhere like a small spot near the handle, where a little bit of sanding isnt gonna hurt.
