just got my first splinter on a bbo I'm working on.
splinter is about 1/4" wide x 1.5" long.
It's on the outside edge starting about 3/16" down from a node.
The splinter separated right in the middle of the boo.
..not the glue joint.
I've super glued the splinter down and clamped.
Do I have to wrap it?
or is the super glue enough by itself?
Thanks
fwiw..
I just got done shooting 50 arrows without incident.
...am I just lucky?
...or most likely good to go?
Oh man. i know the feeling. i don't know, i wrapped mine when it happened, but might not be necessary. i really am going to have a hard time trusting bamboo.
I had a splinter on a bbi once. I superglued it, then rounded the corner off really well to try and relieve some of the stress on that spot. The splinter was on the edge of the limb. I know a lot ppl wrap the splinter down wih thread also. Then coat the thread in glue to make a kind of composite.
It's not on bamboo, but I had a splinter raise on the side of an osage self bow a couple years ago. I superglued it down and did not wrap it. It's still shooting well to this day. Actually, I took a nice deer with it this past fall.
cool man.
