i'm looking for something suitable for a bow finish. it must be resistant to acetone when cured/dried because when replacing the self adhesive velcro i use for shelf material i remove the residue with acetone. must be clear.
i modified my riser a bit only to find that the sealer i used dissolves with acetone.
what do i need, and where do i get it?

So you bit the bullet hey mate how did it finish up for you.Is it better to shoot with the lower shelf?

Re: bow finish
It seemed to take a bit of the shine off but didnt disolve it.It has been on there a long time so may be a bit harder.
It is a very good bow finish though and dries fast so you can finish a bow in a day and then let it dry for a few and it is all done even with heaps of coats(12-15)

Re: bow finish
i tried acetone on some staves i sealed with the same stuff and it handled it okay. so maybe it needs a few days to cure.
yeah, lowered the shelf. seems more natural now. i'll see how it goes.
