I think laying a backing over the entire thing will do you fine. How long is that splice?
DC:
3" This means that I can't have a nice short transition from limb to lever but I knew that when I decided to put a splice there and I was a bit chicken to use a shorter splice.

At 3 inches, id probably put an underlay on it as well. And if you want to have a nice transition, you may consider side lams, one on each side of the splice, going from splice into the recurve. I have done them and they look amazing.
DC:
The side lams sound nice and would beef up the part of the joint I'm concerned with (sideways bend) so I will do that instead of what I posted. I'm not so sure why I would want an underlay though. The joint is in compression and should be good with normal bending. have you ever posted a bow with side lams. How far did you run them past the splice?
sleek:
The underlay and overlay sandwich the splice for more strength, but, im a chicken after a few bad results. I have posted a biw with side lams, give me time to find them.
