Those are some interesting thoughts but when I remove the hose you can see the imprint of the whole limb on the hose, I think it gets total limb coverage but really dont know what is hapening on the form but it sure seems like good solid pressure ! Im hunting all next week end so wont get a chance for 2 weeks to glue up , the tubing is clear plastic 3/8

May make a limb like an acs, gain FPS too!! LOL

Got any of the curved digital calipers to check edge and center on limb when done? 

Yep I do have those calipers but with the metal presure strip the forces might be pretty even I have rubber strips I use for bamboo I could use in the mix or I could use a thicker presure strip the curent one is .030 , or I could just go as is 🤔

Just funning you man!! I have noticed tho even with a pressure strip and the hose flattened more, the edges seem thicker than the center....

Now you have me curious Im going to measure the good limb on the other bow , after the last I dont want to leave any stone unturned 😐 In hind sight it would have been easer making the topped form but would have to skip all this fun 

I ran some Hillbilly tests with the metal strips to see if it was getting even presure , seems like it is, Im using the 2 in. fire hose with 1 1/2 in. wide limbs it puts a flat imprint on the hose of the limb width,I measured the last bow with the out side calipers seems to be consistent center to edges , Im going to drill 2 more holes in the riser area to secure the riser a little better sense I lose sight of the center marks so im going as is with test bow 2 ![attachment=1]

Test bow II , wait til you get to like test bow VI

Well hope I dont go there but did learn Rule #1 dont make fancy risers for test bows!!!! 

64 in. Test bow 2 ,carbon/glass/maple glued up on the modified form , with the metal  pegs every thing went good so far ![attachment=1]

Looks good!  Did you clean all of the lams with heavy duty degreaser?   

SOS pads & hot water  that pure acetone worked great  on glass & carbon ,I just wisked up the wood lams with a fresh 320 grit sanding sponge and dusted off with a stiff brush my shop vac died and if I take the house Dyson to the shop I would be sleeping out here 😃 I probably used to much Smooth on but aired up in increments scared of another delam !

I poped the carbon wonder out of the form every thing looks great so far the form with metalized pegs really works well, got really tight good looking joints so far, I did use more smooth on as insurance compared to the last couple so have a little more clean up with more squeeze out ![attachment=1][attachment=2][attachment=3]

Man that looks really good!  Going to have some string tension!

Nice, Ritchie..

Thanks guys I think this one might have a little more string tension then I was looking for, will see I might have to get the weights out and start working out....lol

You can always send it to Roy...
