Mositure content in parallels and tapers?
« on: February 27, 2007, 11:05:00 AM »
Hi All you bowyers and Trad-Gangers out there.   I'm planning to cut all my own tapers and parallels for lamanated bows (Thats lamanated bows with glass on the back and belly) using smooth-on in a oven at 150-180f and need your help. My quistion is what mositure content  am I after before glueing, or does it really matter in a oven at that temperture? Thanks Dan  :help:   :archer:
