The riser is straight on back and there is taper (.002) lams under riser on form.
This makes better glue lines because the riser doesn’t rock on the tapers under it . It does build in 1/16 ish string follow I found.

If the lams and glass slide up the belly ramp and past the corner at top of ramp , it will leverage the lams up in middle of belly ramp and leave a hideous glue joint . Don’t even ask how I know this. :laughing:

The black tape holds the metal pressure strip down at washers so it doesn’t get on top of a washer and not press there.

Went well even tho I wondered if the mule tape was close enough on the hose. Used 60 psi in hose . Glue lines are great .
To wrap the tape on do you air up the hose a bit to give it form, then run the tape and hit it with full pressure after?

I didn’t air the hose , just wrapped the tape and then aired it...

John, I'd like to shoot one more but the grip and I just don't mesh well. If I put a grip I like on one , I'd be tarred and feathered... :laughing:

kenny its already tarred and feathered keep going with your grip shape :clapper:
Does it need to be skinnier?

James, it will end up about 37-38 lbs at 28" and 68" ntn

You’re already tarred and feathered with limb width. Need to lose 1/4” or more. So you might as well dish he heck out of it. :biglaugh:

I may convert my other forms to pegs and use the mule tape. Much lighter to move to heat box. :) :)

Why not C-clamps? They work really well and you can "Feel" the pressure exrted during glue upc clamps will lose pressure as the epoxy cures. You don't get that with the hose and mule tape.
Post by: kennym on June 01, 2023, 11:15:24 AM
And if you don't go over the clamps several times, as the glue squeezes out, they may become loose.

Not only does it have a custom grip, it has a built in over draw for high performance with uni carbon belly and back… this one was hot!

Of course being the fine upstanding guy I am, I told them to go pound sand…. But I did hang the recurves up inside the trailer for those that we’re interested as a compromise…. I ended up selling a couple bows at that event, and took a couple custom orders too. But I wouldn’t cater to that crowd again. Kirk
