3Rivers Archery Your Longbow and Recurve Experts
Hi, I'm Johnathan Karch with 3Rivers Archery.
Today, we're talking about waterproofing.
And what we're waterproofing is my archery glove. This is an old archery
glove I've never waterproof before. So it's really beat down leather, cracked
things like that. What we're gonna do is we're going to use Sno-Seal and give a
excellent coat of waterproofing to this glove. To give it a little bit more
years of use out of it. Waterproofing is great weather I don't
know what conditions I'll be shooting my bow in. Whether it's on the range or in
the back woods. It's good to know that the leather is protected from water.
Now the way to do this is you want to clean your leather and for this stuff in
particular they highly recommend heating the glove up a bit, or the leather, up a bit.
There's a few different ways to do it best tip for it I'd say it's a blow dryer.
Just so you can apply some heat. You don't want it where it's you know
you can't hold it any more, but just you heat the leather up. What it does is open
the pores and it's going to really receive the waterproofing, you see paste
here, a lot easier. Now, Sno-Seal is made natural, natural products in there
so it's gonna really do well for those that don't want extra chemicals or
things like that and then also it's gonna give a nice solid coat to it.
So what you do. Is you take the material you can put it on the cloth or I'm just
gonna put on the finger, and just wipe it right in there and what you want to do
is wipe it right into the leather.
Now any waterproofing material,
especially on leather, may darken it. Just something to know...
and just be aware of.
Now you rub it in. Rub it to all the crevices, creases.
Make sure you get a good generous portion
into it.
This is the Dura-glove so I don't need to worry
about fingertips but the rest of this good quality leather will soak this
stuff up and create a nice good barrier against water
this is what we're gonna do to pull off the excess.
And there we go.
Now gear will always need to be waterproof even stuff that comes to you waterproofed
because, depending on the material, as it gets a lot of wear and tear to it.
That coating that's doing the water- the waterproofing breaks down, gets cracks in it.
With heavy use you're gonna want to do this at least once a season, but it really comes down
to what kind of...
use you're putting into your gear.
The nice thing when you buy the Sno-Seal, other than it being, you know, natural material
You get a lot of it.
So if you got boots
leather quivers, arm guards
you're getting a lot in here
to use. That way you can get all your gear...
nice and shiny.
Nice thing with this also is it can leave a shinier gloss depending on how
many layers you do with it.
There you go.
Quick simple and easy. Then I'll just hang this up
let it air dry overnight let's say and then it'll be good to go.
