Trouble with fiberglass backing
Pat B:
One layer of paper is plenty. Adding more than one layer of any backing is not necessary and will reduce the efficiency of your bow.
Nate, I'm with you about the FG tape. I never understood why one would use FG sheetrock tape when other better choices are around. Paper sheetrock tape would be more appropriate IMO.

This is going to be a stiff handle bow.

Pat and I concur....one layer is good...and being that its a stiff handled bow...a splice in the paper in the handle is appropriate...good luck....and have fun..

Well, I couldn't get the paper completely flat and smooth either. It almost looks like air pockets under the paper but they're solid, so I'm thinking it is glue. Maybe I used too much? It wasn't very thick when I put it on but it did cover the whole surface of the bow. Maybe I can snap a pic of it in a few minutes.
I was having really good luck building this bow until this point. It has definitely been a learning process!
