Is it possible to repair fiberglass? I have a an old bear bow that is a great bow and it has a thin peice of fiberglass that has broken loose on the back of the limb. The laminations are NOT sepereating! Would it be possible to fix it or if it cant be fixed could it be shot still? I will try to get some pics of it put on here in the next day or so.
Post it on the Trad History,Collecting forum.There are some good bow repair guys over there.
Definately need the images. A slight ship off the edge is minor. A perpendicular divot across the limb may be of much more concern.
Locktite 420 or one of the medium CA (cyanoacrylate) "super" glues can be used for the minor dings.
The peice is about 1/16 to 1/8 of inch wide, about 8 inches long and about as thick as half a finger nail. I runs down the back of the limb.

That puts it out of my league and (IMHO) into the majors. What DonS said - check in the Trad Collecting forum for suggestions from the big dogs.
