Sealer for Cane Arrows
« on: November 23, 2009, 12:13:10 pm »
I need a sealer that will "stick" to the outside rind of a cane arrow shaft.

Part of my Gift for the Chrismas trade is a few cane arrows.
They have been straightend and the nodes have been sanded down somewhat.
These sanded areas has had outside rind removed and now they require a good sealer.

Thanks

David, I usually run some 220 paper over the whole shaft to rough up the rind and put a few coats of Tru-oil on them, (or bear grease for authentic primitive arrows.)

David, a lot of Wal-marts carry it in the gun section. Around here, most gun shops have it. It's usually with the gun bluing and such.

If the Wally  world you go too does not have it, ask which store within driving distance is a "hunting" store.  Selection of products can vary dramatically from store to store.  Also check local gun shops, I like the "trading post" or "barn" style gun stores for things like this, you know, the ones with wood floors and 40 yr old dust under the back shelves.  Never know what you'll find in those.

I  haven't tried  tru oil  but  I  would  imagine  you  would  have  to  make sure  and sand all  the outer  film  off the bamboo  for  it to  penetrate well,
   I think  I would  prefer deft  or some top coat personally, I  can see  no reason  to  actually  sand this  outer  layer off,  other  than sanding the  nodes down

If you don't sand the Rind...the waxy coating on it will not let the Sealer/Finnish adhere to the Bamboo...and it will just crack or peel off in time

I usually sand the rind completely off, then finish with many coats of Waterlox (Poly/Tung oil blend).  It sinks in well and dosen't look really shiny.
