Snake skins I have a air buble, how do I fix it?

[T Folts]

I put on same Diamondback skins on a glass bow and I have a air bubble in the middle of the limb. How should I fix this?? I was thinking cutting a slice in the center and peel it back and use super glue.
I dont have a way to inject it so that wont work unless you have an idea.
Thanks

I had two small bubbles when I did mine.  I carefully sliced the bubble with a razor blade and covered the area with super glue.  This was my first application of skins though and I'm not sure I did it correctly.  I haven't had any problems with those areas though.  Good luck.

Slice a small slit over the air bubble, put a drop of superglue on a toothpick and use the toothpick to put the drop under the skin. Press the skin back down and you are good to go. Done carefilly you will not be able to find your repair later.

I fixed it with super glue and a razor, I carefully cut along the edge of scales and lifted the area then flooded it with super glue and you cant even tell. Thanks for the tips..

Terry, thats the best way to repair, I always rub a layer of super glue on the skins once I have the scales all removed, bulletproof and then you can spray or finish with what your doing the whole bow with. PS use a rubber glove when putting the glue on

i used to do fiberglass , and if i had a bubble , i would put some epoxy in a syringe (its not eaasy , as the epoxy is thick), squirt a little under the bubble , then work it around and squish it out the needle hole. such a tiny amount was needed is done right , it almost seemed like too much work.

then again my glass was holding couple hundred pounds of a/v equip , and was also pressurized when the woofers were on...

In the future try contact cement for gluing skins on limbs.  It works GREAT and it can also be removed so you can sell or trade the bow in the future.  You will be surprised how many people HATE skinned limbs....  You can even put a finish like true oil over the skin after you cement it and the cement protects the glass under the skin in the event some tru oil soaks all the way in the skin.
