shrink wrap for composite clamps?

Pat B:
TBII and TBIII break down at 150deg(F). I called them to find out how to remove a backing that I had used TBIII and the guy told me to heat it to 150deg and it would come apart...and it did.   Pat

bowstick:
Thanks for the info about the tightbond breaking down at higher temps... I wonder though, is it in some strange way like an epoxy glue... where as you can heat cured epoxy up and soften the glue Line to remove the laminate... but once it cools  it is hard again...

And since I would only be putting the bow in the heat box once... as long as it never gets to 150 degrees again...  it should work, as long as bringing the temperature to 150 degrees as it's drying doesn't ruin the properties of the glue. 

Great info though...  thanks :)

Pat B:
You might want to call their tech number and ask them about its characteristics after heating. I was only concerned with separating a hickory backing strip that had failed across the back(fungi) but the belly wood was still good. Pat
