Silk wrap
Justin Snyder:
Thanks again Matt. That is amazing, you can still see the splinter. It does resemble glass a little. Justin
Justin Snyder:
OK guys, I finished the patch. Ill post some pictures for critique and to maybe help out someone who hasn't done it before. You can see the splintering was pretty bad. First I super glued on a patch of silk from a shirt from the local second hand store. Then I wrapped it with red silk thread. The ends of the wrap are tied in like serving a string. The last step is to saturate the wrap in super glue. I put a plastic bag over my finger to smear it, like huntersim recomended. Justin

That looks good but will it stiffen that limb too much? I think I would go with a silk backing after glueing down the splinter...but you know how good I am with boo backed bows. ::) Pat
Justin Snyder:
Unless I misunderstood Matt, it should be fine. I took it out and shot it this morning. It shoot pretty darn good. If anything I think it may bend a little more there. Keep in mnd that it was my first bow, so the tiller probably left a little to be desired anyway. It still pull the full 60# @29" Justin

She seems to be fine. She's bending nicely at the wrap. Pat
