Title: keeping super glue from sticking....
Post by: H.P. on November 30, 2015, 12:46:00 PM
Anyone ever use that brown packing tape to keep super glue/epoxy from sticking to clamps when laminating stuff together?  Thought I heard this mentioned before?  Plan on fixing some delamination on a bow with some LT 420 and wanted to know if there's a non stick barrier I could use between my clamps and the bow.  Thanks.

If the de-lam is in the riser you should be fine but I have never had any luck with a de-lam in the working part of the limb using super-glue.

I used plastic wrap until I saw the suggestion here to use wax paper.  My problem with plastic wrap is that most of the lay ups are done on the patio and the slightest breeze makes a mess of it.  Perfect for indoors though.

Wrap tape around it.... Plastic wrap generally sticks to itself. Unless ya buy the cheap stuff..

Awesome, thanks y'all.  Both seemed to work fine for some of the minor repairs.  Plus finally found a use for that wax paper that's been sitting in the cupboard for 3 years.  Now it's on my workbench.  Thanks again!
