Chip in finish, could it hurt my bow?

[Bakes168]

I've got a really small chip in the finish of my longbow right on the arrow shelf, it looks like it goes all the way down to the wood.
Do you think moisture could get in there and hinder the bows performance? If so, what kind of lacquer should I use to re-seal it? Can I get it from Home Depot?

Thanks and Semper Fi,
Zack

Super Glue will seal it.

put some super glue on it and forget about it

X3-super glue.  All will be fine.

X4. Super glue

Super glue or 3-4 coats of polyurathane should work.

Use clear nail polish (lacquer based).

.....or a dab of 5 minute epoxy.

Zack, if you aren't sure how it happened and it is a relatively new bow you may want to watch it. I have a bow that the bowyer got a bad batch of finish and it is chipping off in quit a few places. Superglue it but if you see anymore spots you may want to ask the bowyer if he's had any issues.
