Title: cracked bamboo help
Post by: Lemont on April 08, 2008, 01:19:00 AM

me and daughter were gluing up a bamboo backed hickory and the boo was a little wider she tightened the vise before i could stop her .
its about 1/4 over from the edge but i wraped it and glued up any way so should i move my bow center over and cut it out or will it be ok since i just glued it up?

Fill the crack full of super glue until it won't hold anymore, then forget about it, it won't be a problem.
