Title: re-glue??
Post by: teshunkawitko on October 30, 2008, 03:15:00 PM

I had the outer glass covering the bottom belly limb of my bow blow off on stringing 1st time. Bad luck or what? Anyway a carpenter friend thinks he could tidy and reglue. if he did would it be possible to shoot the bow at all after that?

Did it come all the way off?  What kind of glue did you use?  Did you cure it with heat?

No it did not come all the way off about one third the length of the limb starting from the bottom of the riser. He used some kinda carpenters epoxy for adhesion. Got it back this morning. Strung up okay but have not shot.
