limb repair

[58WINTERS]

I took a fall today while stumping and my bow got the worst of it.  Here's the situation. 68" string follow 52# @ 27 3 lams of carmelized bamboo black glass back and belly.
The bow took a hit on some lava on the side of the lams about 12" from the upper limb tip the back & belly glass were not damaged.
There is linear crack in a 1/16" from the glass in the lam closest to the bow back. It appears to be less than a 1/2" long and is very small, however I can squeeze the limb and see it close. It can not be seen when the bow is unstrung.  I unstrung the bow immediately.
Calling the bowyer tomorrow.  Thought of getting some Loctite 420??  stringing the bow and have a friend put tension the the string and flow it into the crack unstring and clamp,
Good idea bad idea???
Is carmelized bamboo more brittle because of the heat treatment??

See what the bowyer says first, but your plan sounds reasonable.

I would not hesitate to fill it with Loctite. That does not sound like a very bad deal to me at all from your description. the loctite should bond it stronger than it was origonally.

God Bless, Steve

What's the viscocity of Locktite 420? I would use only thin viscocity cyanocrylite. It will follow the crack to the very end. Standard issue suoerglue won't work as well.

If you hit up a hobby shop, like for model airplanes, they tipically sell CA glue with a number of viscosities. I haven't personally found  "thin" CA glue anywhere else in a store. Although obviously the internet is another option.

Thanks I appreciate all the input.
I have a call in to Allen Boice at Liberty and John Strunk at Spirit bows about the best CA to use.

I heard from John Strunk and talked to Allen at Liberty.
Ace Hardware product #101941 called Wonder Loc Em chair repair will migrate into crack and do the job.
Thanks again.

Thanks to all for input.  Looks like we are home free on the repair except a little cosmetic flaw.
