I just did this to a bow, I actually used my heat gun (wifes hair drier shhhhh) heated it up from that point out to the tip started using a razor blade to separate the glass from the lam then stuffed it with smooth on clamped it and then put it under my heat lamp for 2 hrs... everything is perfect on it...... mythinkin would be if its loose right there, it may be loose on out as well??? just my .02 took me all of 20 min
