Does anyone have any experience putting snake skin on carbon limbs. Will Titebond 111 adhere to the carbon limbs?
Thanks and God bless, Pierre
Same Question, but fiber glass
Wouldn't adding the extra weight of snakeskins negate the reason one uses carbon?
Don't know...hoping someone has done it or has some experience with it.
God bless, Pierre
dont think whether its carbon or not matters from a glue adhesion perspective- as they are all set in a resin matrix- , and that is what the glue is adhering to.
have seen folks doing it on glass bows all the time, and using both TB 2 and TB 3- i would personally go with TB3- and seal it all well.
how it will effect performance i dont know- but - and i am probably wrong here- but i think the main reason for using carbon is its inherent stiffness, "increasing the bows ability to return to its original position quicker"- in laymans terms. i think the reduced weight is a contributing positive aspect, but as a stand alone characteristic it would not add enough performance enhancement!!
sure some more experienced folk will also clock in soon!
Pierre, I would give Jim Neaves a holler. He has a lot of expertise with carbon. Also, with natural materials, too!
You would enjoy talking with him!
Hey, thanks for all the info.
Yep, good idea to give Jim a call.
Thanks and God bless, Pierre
