Fiberglass splinter question
« on: July 06, 2022, 01:16:42 PM »
Hello Bowyers,

I am in the process of removing some snakeskins I applied to my take down recurve several years ago.  In the process of cleaning up the edges I lifted a splinter of fiberglass.  It is about mid limb, so working, and literally on the edge.  I scraped it down with a razor blade edge and have applied super glue.  I'll sand it all smooth and then reapply a finish.  Am I screwed or will this fix hold?  Thanks!

It will probably be fine. Guess you are going to find out sooner or later!

I'm not a big fan of CA glue. Time will tell how it holds up. Since the glass is made with epoxy, it would have been a good first choice for the repair.
