Title: writing on my bow
Post by: wayne rollinson on March 15, 2018, 06:30:00 AM

Hi guys, I am in the last stages of finishing my bow from Kennym and have to say his quality is superb, and the help recieved was also top knotch now I will post pictures with a small writeup but I have a question regarding writing on my bow, I read posts about using indian ink so I will go with this but, do I flat the whole bow so the lacquer will take then write befre spraying or give a coat then write on the bow, I don't want to mess it up in the final stage, many regards wayne

I write directly on the glass then mist a light coat of finish over the writing and let it get tacky before heavy coats.
