adb - thanks for the insight, thats exactly what I did, sanded the node down too far and its failing.... won't be doing that again! Its glued up with superglue and thread as a repair and I'll see if it holds.

Well... being that it's a 110# warbow, I personally wouldn't trust gluing it down. Take Pat's advice, and re-back it.

markinengland:
I've had lifts like that. I've glued the lift down and then bound tightly with a very strong fastlfight type thread and then applied a very strong glue to the binding. This has held even if it isn't truly authentic and because I can't see it I don't worry so much about it!.
To be truly safe I'd put a new backing on though.
