Hemlock Shaft Seal – Water-Based Arrow Varnish
Hemlock Shaft Seal is a premium-quality, water-based varnish specially formulated for sealing and protecting wooden arrow shafts. Designed for archers and arrow-makers who demand durability without compromising the natural look of their arrows, this varnish offers a crystal-clear finish that enhances and preserves both bare wood and stained shafts.
Ideal for use after staining, the Shaft Seal helps safeguard arrows against water ingress, target burn, and everyday knocks and scrapes encountered in shooting. It dries to a smooth, hard-wearing finish while allowing the grain and colour of the wood to show through clearly.
Easy to apply with a synthetic brush, lint-free cloth, or through dipping, Hemlock Shaft Seal is suitable for use in a wide range of workshop conditions and has been developed to provide excellent protection while maintaining ease of use.
