What type of finish?

[Sir-diealot]

Whatever you use I suggest wiping with acetone first, especially with oily woods. Avoid anything water based. The problem with many lacquer and poly finishes is anything with DEET in them will take the finish off. A oil, wax/oil or CA finish will be the most durable. Be conscious that changing finishes WILL change the sound as well. Personally I use CA and "secret sauce" that Mr Harold Fowler taught me. Holds up very well.

Will using a bug spray with high concentration of DEET while hunting cause a problem?

DEET has a nasty habit of stripping or causing a white cloudy look on lacquer and poly.

Guess I will have to find something else to keep the bugs off.

There's lots of finishes out there it won't pull off. Plus, thermacell. Lol

I use tru-oil so you are ok using feet with my calls. Obviously avoid contact if you can.

Yep. Oils, including tru-oil will hold up better to it.

Thermacells are about $25 and in SE Ga are one of the most important things you can own. Lol

I felt like an idiot after I posted I went and looked them up, when they first came out they were like 120 a pop, they are MUCH lower now. I will get one by next spring for sure.
