Title: Coating on top of gasket lacquer???
Post by: SOS on September 03, 2007, 07:55:00 PM
I've got a couple dozen woodies with a ChekMate Falcon I bought this spring.  The arrows were made "professionally" so I'm guessing they have gasket lacquer on them.  I've got a couple I want to refletch that have the coating and cresting scratched off in places.  What is compatible that I can re-seal the fletch end after I sand the old glue off and get ready to refletch with tape?  Thanks for your thoughts.

As far as I know the gasket laquer is acetone based,   you may be able to use a water based sealer over top of it, ie. a polyacrylic or equivelent. BUt don't quote me on that.

SOS:
Gasket lacquer is lacquer based. Just because they are professionally made does not mean they are gasket lacquer finished. That said use a acrylic or oil base finish. Oil based will be a better seal and harder.
