Split in glass... Help, please!

[Blue EagleBum]

I am working on a 58" take-down recurve. I noticed a hairline split, actually 2 and start of another, between my bezel hole and my pin hole. I have shot it about ten times.

One runs from bezel hole almost to pin hole, one runs from pinhole almost to bezel hole, and the starter is beginning at the pin hole, running toward tip about 1/8".

So far I have sanded around rim of both pin and bezel hole with 300 gritt. cleaned and applied krazy glue to affected areas.

Should I drill small holes at end of each split and fill with epoxy or crazy glue. It is on the part that will be against the riser.

Or something else? Thanks in advance for your help.

No camera right now. When I get it back.

I think drilling the very small holes wouldn't hurt as long as your careful not to have the bit catch. then filling with super glue. I'd mostly be concerned with the one looking to head for the tip.

Filling the cracks with thin superglue should fix the limbs but you need to find out why they cracked in the first place. Are the limb pads flat and square? It doesn't take much torque to tighten the limb bolts but too much will crack the limbs.

Limb pads are flat and square. I believe it was some splintering around the bezel and pin hole. And I may have torqued them too much.

You have to watch not getting finished good  in the bolt holes also, absorbing moisture in the wedge will  crack there.

Thanks guys. I appreciate your input. I did drill some small holes at end of splits, and filled with krazy glue. Should find out how she goes tomorrow. I'll be  sure to finish in the holes now too. Thanks KennyM, would not have thought of that.
