Secureing lams on the form.

How about seeing some different methods you guys use to secure the lams from slipping or sliding when pressure is applied to the air hose.

I use tape and off set washers.

Do you put something behind the washers to keep the glue off them?

[Trux Turning]

I put a piece of handi-wrap on the form before I put the lams and riser on. Once I have the riser and lams on I tape them down and rotate the washers up- this puts the plastic wrap between  and the lams and the washers so they don't get glued to the bow. I then put another piece of handi-wrap on top to keep the glue off my hose.

I wax the washers and the glue will pop right off with a bit of pressure from a screw driver.  TO keep everything in place I use a bunch of tape, then rubber bands then the air hose.

I guess I use a lot of strapping tape, because on my longbows I tape every other inch. The tape was cheaper than the laminations sliding all over and ruining a project.
