Bill in Fl. Posted May 7, 2006 Share Posted May 7, 2006 I just picked up my SBE and am wondering about caring for the camo finish. Will oil hurt it it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tucker301 Posted May 7, 2006 Share Posted May 7, 2006 Try to keep oils and solvents off the camo parts. Clean them with a damp cloth and a mild detergent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mudhen Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 Nothing seems to hurt mine except DEET. It gets shiny pretty quick - all film camo seems to do that. It also might wear to white in spots that come in contact with your skin. mudhen - CA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill in Fl. Posted May 8, 2006 Author Share Posted May 8, 2006 Thanks Guys. I use a ThermoCell anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBE2 Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 I have not noticed any problems with my camo either. I make sure no oil or cleaner stays on the camo. I use a dry cotton cloth barly spraied with cleaner and then whip the camo with a bone dry cotton cloth. ThermoCell goooood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ARCHER Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 I have noticed some wear when I put mosquito dope on but its not too bad. Keep it wiped off and clean. ARCHER Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill in Fl. Posted May 11, 2006 Author Share Posted May 11, 2006 Try this link. Thermacell is how I should have spelled it. Game animals can't smell it and really works. It's catching on like gangbusters here in Mosquitoville USA. http://www.thermacell.net/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The mosquitos get pretty nasty here in MN during the early goose season in September. I don't want to be worrying about my camo finish if there is an alternative to the stink spray!

Bill in Fl. Posted May 11, 2006 Author Share Posted May 11, 2006 The only time it's not as effective is when it's windy...but then the skeeters aren't too bad either when it's a blowin'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
