Title: Bow Maintenance
Post by: Kenmist on July 12, 2008, 05:52:00 PM
Hey!  Does anyone have any suggestions as  to how to whiten yellowed fiberglass?  It's an old bow, but the riser is really great looking wood.

if the bow has colored glass it is probly only the finish that is yellowed, all the old bows are bad about that.
  just sand the bow down and refinish it

Yep it is the finish that is yellowed, not the white glass.

Just don't sand too deep. Lightly and with 400 grit.

Will sanding remove the discoloration?  What should I refinish it with?

Gumption Multi Purpose Cleaner would do the job.

Spray it with a polyurethane finish
