Title: Spraying a one piece bow
Post by: Crooked Stic on June 28, 2017, 09:14:00 AM

Show me some of your gizmos for holding a one piece bow for spraying. I have been doing the riser section first and letting it cure then spraying the limbs and resting the bow on the riser section. Not always the best way.

I twist a piece of safety wire around the string nock and then touch up nock by hand latter.

Yep. I use a piece of stainless wire. Between sessions I hang it from the other end to ensure both tips get finish in their string grooves.

I do the same, I hang mine horizontal by the tips with bow string then spray entire bow then I hit the tips and blend it in.

I drill a tiny hole through the top tip overlay. I use it to tie the bow up to spray and then use it later for a string keeper.

I use a 1/8" dowel pin for pinning lams and so forth.
I Super glue mine under the leather
