Title: Bow finish wax?
Post by: Shooter#21 on March 27, 2016, 01:20:00 AM
Bear super Kodiak. While wiping off pollen I wondered what is a good wax or sealer to keep moisture out and the finish preserved? Thanks in advance for ideas. Happy Easter everyone.

I have used Johnsons paste and Minwax. Very satisfied with either one. In the fall hunting season I apply A coat of wax and let it dry to a haze. I leave it alone, protects and dulls the shine at the same time.

X3, incredible stuff. Have used it on wood, leather, metal. Smells of turpentine(pine) when first applied.
If applied a few times a year, you can use it to seal snakeskin on a bow with no finish sprayed on.
