You guys glue on your tip overlays before, or after, shaping your limbs? Seems like it would save a litte roughing-in work... Also, anyone feel like CA glue is NOT strong enough for tip overlays?
I'm slowly but surely building my first. I had a name picked out for it already, but I may have to re-think that, and name it "The Marathon Bow". :rolleyes:
Curtis I have not built a fiber glass bow for some time. I used to shape the limbs and when I got close to wanting to put a string on the overlays went on with super glue.
I visited Ann Hoyt years ago and They used super glue on their overlays.

I shape the rough profile of the bow first. I narrow my tips to around 9/16" and cut string grooves in. I want to be sure I make weight before gluing on tip overlays. It saves on overlay material.
