Default arrow finish touch-up

I' ve made the jump from aluminum to cedar arrows and have started using a foam block backstop to prevent my woven-wire rag backstop from scraping the finish off my arrows. I can already tell that the foam is starting to wear the finish thin on the front quarter of the shafts from repeated extractions. I was wonder if I could hang them by the knock and give them a light coating of aerosol clear coat like you get at hobby shops to seal model paints, ceramics, etc. Any overspray ought to run off the point. I have no traditional arrow building equipment now, but I' ll probably get into it at some time. Thanks!

Default RE: arrow finish touch-up



I' ve been using Tru-oil for gun stocks. Use some 000 steel wool over the shaft then wipe some more on. When it dries, run the wool over it again and put on another coat if you' d like. The steel wool will nock off the bumps and junk caught in the finish, but won' t rough it up so much as to take the finish off. Then after a bit if the finish wears down a bit, hit it up with soem more wool and put a few more coats of finish on.
