Last year I drew my 'Tip back in my garage after it had been up in the attic for the last month or so. It was very cold, first draw......about 5 cracks right across both limbs. This one had prairie rattlers/titebond II, and was finished with Helmsman poly......
This year while drawing my new KS in the predawn darkness to loosen up...same thing happened....it was about 17 degrees....this bow had another set of rattlers/contact cement, and was finished with T'Bird epoxy!
I have my main bow "Timex" all ready to go out with me Thursday. I put on a new set of copperheads this summer, glued with TBII, and finished with T-Bird. I'm almost afraid to see what's gonna happen. But it's already showing signs of separation between the finish and skins.
My skins are installed in a very meticulous manner and look perfect when first done. So far every set(4) i've put on bows have failed in one way or another. I wonder if it's because I stretch these little 56" Kwyk Styks out with my 28+" draw.
But the 'Tip is a 60" bow.
Anyone have any ideas? I can get some pix to show what I'm talking about if it'll help.....
