Alright, I removed all the paint with lacquer thinner. The limbs look like they have a coating that is moderately checked from years of being shot I guess. I have been told the coating may be Fullerplast. I have no way of knowing this for sure. What next? Do I sand the limbs to remove that coating? Do I simply etch it with steel wool and spray polyurethane over it? Please let me know if you have some advice. This is really new frontiers for me.

Sand off the finish on the stress cracked limbs or leave alone before polyurethane?

If you don't sand it off, it will show up under your new finish.

I would sand, but with a fine grit,, nothing to course.

Ok, looks like I’m not done with the steps before the poly.

Check a small area with poly first. I THINK I have fullerplast on a recurve and I found poly didn't adhere too well.
