Title: Anything to worry about?
Post by: Burnsie on June 11, 2024, 11:12:43 PM

These cracks formed on this self bow at the handle after doing some heat correction. I've hit the cracks with water thin CA - they do not go through to the back of the bow. Anything else I should be considering when dealing with these cracks?

Those cracks are nothing to worry about. If you want smooth, fill them with super glue. If you’re not worried about it, then continue on like they’re not there.

Yeah, they are drying checks from the heat correction you did. No problem.  :thumbsup:
