Title: Finish over backing?
Post by: Dave Bowers on March 17, 2009, 12:44:00 PM

Hiya fellas, I just backed my bow and was wondering if a finish like tru-oil can be applied over top of the clothe backing?

Dave, I'll answer you here too....I usually put a thin layer of the glue over the cloth backing to smooth it out a bit before adding Tru-Oil or any other finish.
