Yeah Ed...its gonna take me a lot more arrows than usual for it to gain my trust back...I'll expend a couple hundred+ over next week,and if alls OK yet I'll put some coats of oil on it to seal it some,and shoot some more before adding more coats to fill the skins...yeah I know I'll need to wrap those skins when gluing em down...I've done em before and they can be stubborn..I use ace bandage wraps...
