[mmattockx]

Thank you. I dont know if we have them but I will find out.

Lots of auto parts shops and motorcycle shops sell valve stems similar to those.

Very productive day today. Hot, but productive.
Final shaping of limbs and tips.
Tillered for equal limb timing.
First coat of finish on limbs.
And next to last coat of finish on riser.
And slipped in a few test arrows while the limbs were mounted 

And Flem....ea40 will be the final finish on the riser but not sure about the limbs.
I found for the final coats that a pretty thin mix with a super soft cotton tshirt results in a nice soft finish on the riser. I'm hoping I can get the same results on the limbs, but might be a challenge on the wide flats. The nice thing with the ea40 compared to most wipe on finishes is the long working time.

What solvent did you mix with it Bvas and how much?
Looks good

Lacquer thinner.
First couple coats about 50/50. Final coats probably 60/40.
No precise measurements. Kinda like grandmas cooking. Just add thinner til it looks right.

Very cool Bvas I imagine you could rub out the EA-40 like any other finish once it has cured hard. Have to let us know in a few years how it's held up to UV. Remind me to remind you in 5 yrs.

Guess what old Bue is doing today? I don't like it.

[Roy from Pa]

Hanging upside down?

[Buemaker]

Yeah, let the old square head hang there.

[Mad Max]

Bue I'm getting dizzy

Blowing all the dust around and out of your shop. Its the only way I can think of to keep a shop as clean as yours.

Or maybe someone ate something really bad  last night.

Finished the Prototype.
Just an other Riser with deeper Pivot, so a Bit high brace.
Lets See If thats what the customer wants.

Shot high gloss sealer coats on two bows today. A few years ago I started to use a finish that has two components in one can. Pull out a ring in the bottom, twist and shake and it mixes. Very good finish, downside is that is very expensive. You can spray a second coat after two minutes.

Prototype looks good.

[Bvas]

Looks good bj.
That's was a quick from form to finish.

[B-JS]

Thanks.
Just a Prototype.
So no superduperfine Finish and no Overlays and stuff.
That saves a Lot of time.
So such a Bow Takes Just a Low one-digit Number of hours.

I been battling covid for the last 11 days... This chit sucks... Would like to find the guy that invented this crap and tie him upside down with his head in a fire ant pile...
