I have a longbow with bamboo limbs with clear glass. However, the riser and tip overlays are made of one of the extremely oily exotic woods, possibly bubinga or cocobolo. I have sanded the entire bow down to bare wood and glass.
I need to refinish, and have heard of using either Zinsser Bullseye Sealcoat OR super glue to seal the oily wood before using an oil based finish for a top coat. What works the best in this type situation? If the Sealcoat is the way to go, should I coat the entire bow, or just the areas with the oily wood? And finally, what would you recommend as a top coat and why?
By the way, the bow will be used for hunting in a variety of temps. and humidity levels.
