Hi all,
I was watching a busted bear kodiak "wall hanger" on ****, and the final price was a little exaggerated.
Is it just me or did this oversell?

Curious to know if something like this can be repaired so I can restore one myself. thx...
That is what miracles are reserved for; no need for any glue at all. :bigsmyl:

I currently have one in my possession suffering from similar, but I think worse damage http://tradgang.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=14;t=005442;p=1#000000
which I am considering trying to save, if I git it done I will post the results...
That bow is junk, looks like the limb core is cracked.
Both bows can be fixed. They were glued together once, they can be glued again.
However........
This should not be undertaken by a novice, a person should have some bow building experience.
A form needs to be built, the lams cleaned out of slivers etc. Smooth On epoxy used. For the tip delam it should also have a belly over lay added.
I have a bow that I built in 1985 that delaminated at the fadeout(left in hot truck) in 1986,glued it back and I still shoot today.
After the repair the bow should never be sold.
Thanks raghorn.
So is it a matter of just cleaning the limb, aligning the wood fibres, epoxying them together then building the limb back up by apply more epoxy through a vacuum?
