I looked through the resources and didn't see anything. If this the wrong forum, sorry.
A clicker was removed from this limb and it appears the adhesive took some finish off.
How would it be best to repair it?
Pic to follow.

Just looking at the pic, I would say that limb needs a complete refinish.
You might be able to try to sand the area down some and just touch up the area, but it won't look as good as a total refinish

Thanks Bisch. I sent the pic to the bowyer and didn't expect a reply immediately. He says it is the finish only and the bow is fine to shoot. He offered to repair, I just pay shipping/insurance. I may go that route.
Still interested in opinions/method though.
Thanks!

I have refinished several bow with Helmsman Spar Urethane in a rattle can from Home Depot. It is a good finish. If you do it yourself, you want to remove all the old finish by sanding. What you do not want to do is sand on the fiberglass below the finish. If you do, you will reduce the draw weight of the bow, and there is a good chance you will mess up the tiller of the bow. Other than that, it is like refinishing anything. Just get all the old finish off, and then apply new finish in thin coats.
If the bowyer offered to do it for free, that is the route I would go for sure!
