Caution with Deet

Just thought I would post a warning about this considering how expensive sporting equipment is. Found out, after some experiments with my turkey calls, that the Deet in bug spray will destroy most finishes on wood (polyurethane, acrylic, varnish, spar urethane and tru-oil) Made them very tacky like they were still curing! So be very carefull getting it on your wood calls and guns with wood stocks!! I don't use bug spray myself, but if some of you do, be very carefull with it. This must be common because I read several posts where others say it's happening...Repel even came out with a bug repellant that is deet free and labeled "Sportmans Gear Smart Formula"
