Title: Salvagable Limb?! First Takedown..
Post by: ThePushArchery on March 07, 2012, 07:57:00 AM
Okay, posted yesterday about taking the limbs down in thickness to match the riser. We got our bows all leveled up and looking sharp.

Then we cut the limb profiles out, and peeled some tape back to drool over the product showing under the glass... Then I about choked...

Is this salvagable? If so, how would I fix this? All the holes are affected. Looks like we ran the drill through the glass a little too fast.

flow thin superglue in to the glass--- it should wick into the glass fibers--fill it well--then counter sink it -just a touch

Do the super glue trick- you can then cover with an overlay.

Thanks guys. Any suggestions on superglue brands that are thin?

I just use the 4 for a dollar ones from walmart for this type of stuff. For glueing on overlays I use gorilla super glue with the blue lid.

Super glue will not work, i tried it myself. you can do a limb overlay, or countersink the bore.

next time if you drill that limb hole, press the limb on a piece of wood. that will prevent fibers from separating.
