my top limb broke on a heavy weight r/d longbow.
and i have not alot of experiance with fiberglass bows,but am pretty capable of making all wood bows.
it is a clean split from inbetween the antlertip overlay and core wood and the belly lam of clear glass....
IF the limb wants to keep its shape...can i butter up the insides with bowgrip 100 or something and wrsp it up with innertube for pressure and work out the tiller when dry?
or is it a lost cause.
the bowyer said its too old for any "re" work on it so i just want to try to make a shooter from it.

What have you got to lose. You can probably fix it but I would use Smooth On. And be sure to warm up all the parts after you have really cleaned them good and clamp well. Put under some form of heat (a light bulb or something). The glue gets much better with a little heat applied. Not really hot but something around 150 degrees.
