Recurve Repair

<< < (3/3)

bownarra:
If you were going the lam route better to use thinner lams.
Really no po9int to doing all that though. If you glued it back together then ground a 1/16th or so off the belly side then added a thin lam (that would conform to the recurve, not so thick you have to try and heat  bend it the same as the recurve) you would have a bombproof repair.
As for thin epoxy, you would simply heat it up gently. It will then flow.

Eric Krewson:
The broken bow was osage as are all the parts I used to fix it.

Marc St Louis:
Looks like that was done using dry heat on the recurve.  Crazy glue and clamp will fix it
