Clear glass is very prone to have those streaks lately, so it may be out of your control.

Hey Moen..
   Did you see I posted my second bow..colorado td recurve part duex.. check it out.. the bow came out great.
   I don't know about the glue you used.. I used smooth on EA40.  Worked great.  I kept the glue in the house to keep it warm..  I put on lots of glue, both sides then used the heat box..
   So tell me exactly what you did.. maybe the glue.
God gave you hands, use them

Hello, Bradford.
Long time.. I read your post two days ago, but i dont recognize your name. No. it`s not the glue.. The stripes are inside the laminate. I can add pics later today. Then you vill see. I think it`s bad quality. Nothing less.

Bradford: I have wrote a reply on your post.

"Can I get bad glass?"
Yes, you can. This man who is teaching me in bowbuilding said there was a problem with glass streaking. He thought the manufacturer had addressed it. The bow industry is so small that I am sure they weren't reall quick on fixing this. There might be some of this still out there...?
