Will the VHT Wheel Paint hurt the snake skins glued with TB3?

Roy from Pa

I can't say for sure but I don't think it will hurt them.

I know that doesn't help much but guys put true oil over skins.

Hopefully someone else will comment on this.

Just looked at the SDS, VHT is a little bit of polyurethane and about 90% hot solvents.
I would guess if you soaked the skins with VHT, the Acetone and Tolulene might break the TB3 bond.
If you use wheel paint, maybe be careful around the edges where the glue is exposed and vulnerable.

I've had great luck with Tru-Oil over snake skins using TBIII and hide glue for gluing the skins.
Make the most of all that comes and the least of all that goes!

I have used it on a half dozen bows backed with snake skins, applied using TB III, without any issues.
The broadhead used, regardless of how sharp, is nowhere as important as being able to place it in the correct spot.
