Hi guys, can I use a finishing oil over a jute wrap?

I haven't used jute handle wrap but on the hemp wraps I do I use Massey finish, 2 part epoxy thinned with acetone.

I’ve put Tru Oil over a jute wrap, and it worked fine. (Until my bow got run over, that is. It didn’t protect against that worth a darn.)

i cant speak to a oil finish but i have done the epoxy finish over a wrap before.
i just used 5min epoxy thinned with 70% isopropoyl alcohol.

Just use watered down pva over the wrap. Lasts for ever.

A few years back I was putting jute on everything -- thought it looked more primitive. Generally TBll, but also Polyurethane, even just bare.
