This shows a finished lam and one bout half done. They should both be ground to a feathered end just like a riser fade when done.
[ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
Now to glue them together I have an aluminum straitedge 1/4 x1.5 x72 that I lay plastic under glue area and then clamp first lam down on the straitedge. Then give a good coat of ca to that lam and press the other lam down where it goes. Look at second lam to be sure it has a good coat of glue also .
Now lay it in place , flip the plastic over it , feel the joint and get it as flush as possible. Lay a block on top for even pressure and clamp, I use a scrap of plywood. You have about 15 seconds to do this so don’t fool around and have all items ready to go.
I let it set for at least a few minutes to be sure it’s done bonding , could prob do less but ...

They have one that has the teeth pointed in one direction for cutting on the pull stroke, which is better straight teeth or angled teeth?

Here I have the stuff on the form and the zip Ty’s in place, nice thing about them is you can tighten them slowly and the riser moves away from the one you pull tighter so it’s easy to center it up on the form .

Here’s the glue I could break off after wiping it down between the plastic sheets ...
Don’t forget to transfer the riser centerline to the glass if anything moved cuz you are prob gonna grind it off cleaning glue up, this one was good except for the parallel lam. I saw it while gluing but didn’t mess with trying to move it because all else lined up good .
Here she is all cleaned up on one side and now to run her thru the thickness sander for the other side.

now that really cracks me up... watcha expect one roll of 1 1/2"?? :laughing: :laughing: lucky you didn't get 3 rolls of 1/2"... :laughing: :laughing: just too funny... i'll be laughing all night every time I think of this one...

If you lightly sand the glass the overlay will fit better
[ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
This side needed a bit more
[ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
I double tape at the ends of overlays and finish Sanding up to tape with a pc of sanding belt folded
[ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
On curved limbs I use 2 pieces of phenolic so I don’t have to fit to limb curve. I slip a sammich bag over end of limb and using limb as a form glue the pieces together . Then take off and pre bevel the inner end to make sanding to the limb glass easier. Then glue to limb

Post by: kennym on November 19, 2020, 11:59:47 AM
Gonna put the belly overlay on, remember we smoothed the glass out with the curved block? Here is where it helps ya out. Easier to do a smooth curve on the disc sander than a bumpy one. Bout ten minutes and she is tight.
Also I cut a relief cut in the grip cutout , just habit to let the overlay flex a little when clamping. Just don’t cut into where the grip is gonna be ...
Marked

Fitted and relief cut

Post by: kennym on November 19, 2020, 01:01:46 PM
BTW I glued all overlays on with the blue top Gorilla CA glue. I glue both surfaces , glass first because I figure it won't absorb into it as much as the wood. It gives plenty of time to clamp (usually) :biglaugh:
Post by: mmattockx on November 19, 2020, 02:15:07 PM
I'd take some of that in moderation... LOL
It does make the hunting easier. Snow for tracking, no issues with cooling the meat and hanging in an unheated garage for a week is no problem. Not really t-shirt weather, though...

Note the flexible rasp , just shoeshine it , easy peasy
Post by: Bvas on November 22, 2020, 07:18:06 PM
Those flexible rasps are handy. I use them a lot. Use a very thin strip in the string groove to take care of sharp edges.

You can download an app called "photo and Picture Resizer" for free. It will resize,flip and crop AND saves the original as it was. From there it's easy to post from the phone.

I've seen sanding string somewhere as well that would be great in nock grooves...

I have to sand and spray it .
You're among friends here, we won't complain about seeing it without makeup. I just want to see a couple overall shots of it to see the profiles and how it all looks in its final form. Before I order a kit for one, anyway. :bigsmyl:

or you could shorten your fingers... :thumbsup: :laughing:
on my bows i get about 9 fps extra for an extra inch of draw... i just thought of something though... if you draw an extra inch you gain an extra 2 or so pounds... so to be fair you only gain about an extra 5 fps for an inch of draw... i know it seams obvious but i never really thought about it like that... i more or less always gave credit to the extra inch and not the added draw weight...
sometimes more things are bought to light for me by reading things on the forum and answering my own questions... :biglaugh: :shaka:

Thanks folks, haven't shot it enough yet to know but it will be hard to replace my 64" TD for hunting, I've shot it for 4 years I think, so maybe just more used to it. Need to be as accurate as possible to hunt with anything. :thumbsup:
