Title: Chip in just glass ???
Post by: INstickbowguy on November 24, 2012, 09:19:00 PM
Appears to be chip just in glass..glass appears thick...am I ok? I just dabbed a drop of fingernail polish on it.

That wouldn't even have showed up on my radar for a hunting bow.  :D  

Next time use super glue instead of nail polish and don't blow on it.

What Rob said, seal it and forget about it.

Very minor.  I have a few nicks on my babies.  I use a clear epoxy and keep an eye on them to make sure they remain stable.

These things happen to bows that get used.  Pity the closet queens that never get character.

Bow hanger caused it...metal was coming through the rubber. Since its just glass I dont think super glue is necessary..not even fully through the glass. Thanks guys

Here you go.  This is on the upper limb of my favorite bow.  Was there when I bought it.  I shot this bow every day for two years ( missed two days) and have taken three deer with it.

MUCH nastier looking than yours.  But it hasn't compromised the fiberglass and is cosmetic only.

I've added my own since then.  ;-)

Yup, I'd say you're good to go.
