Q: How many coats need to be applied to an arrow? How much does it add to the arrow's spine? Can I put is on bare wood or do I need to prime/paint the arrow first? Can I paint/rub on (with a rag) if I don't have a sprayer? What stains are compatible? Can I use fletching tape on top of this? Thanks, Alex Asked on 4/25/2013 by Sanka from Allentown, PA Know the answer? Answer this question 2 answers A: Generally I apply between five and seven coats to each arrow. It does not affect the spine in any measurable amount. Generally before applying the sealer I go over each shaft with very vine steel wool to make it easier for the paint to stick. No primer is necessary. However, it makes things much easier if you crest them before sealing. I would not advise using a rag to apply only for the reason of wasting alot. A can mounted gasket is a great option. Three rivers carries one, the name evades me though. Thunderbird stains are all that I would use with this sealer. Any other will cause the dealer to come up. Fletch tape does work on top of this, just be sure to clean the shaft really good before applying. The best of luck to you Alex!! Answered on 4/29/2013 by Anonymous A: coats should be plenty you will want to stain the shafts first before you seal any of it. I really like using the alcohol based stain it drys the fastest of any stains out there.. The fletching tape will work just fine to this sealer. Answered on 4/26/2013 by Clint from 3Rivers Archery
Q: The Thinner say "Lacquer Thinner" on the can, is this a special thinner or will the one I use in my gravity sprayer for cabinet doors finish work also? I'm trying to avoid an expensive Hazardous material shipping cost. Asked on 11/22/2012 by Greywolf from Honolulu,Hawaii Know the answer? Answer this question 2 answers A: Grey wolf I have used Thunderbird polyurethane for several years as a bow finish, and have used it on cabinets as well. For spraying purposes, I use the Thunderbird thinner, because it is supposed to be slow drying. I have read where others have tried using regular lacquer thinners with poor results. I clean my sprayer with regular lacquer thinners, and that works well. For me, one can of the T-bird thinner will last through two quarts of the T-bird polyurethane. This stuff sprays well and dries fast. I used it recently to finish an oak bench, spraying three coats in less than an hour, with no sanding between coats. I hope this answers your question. Mike L.
