Removing snake skin

[BOWMARKS]

I am looking to remove some skins that were glued with Titebond II , any one ever try ???

Need to heat to  around 140 degree would this temp. put the bow laminations in trouble????

I would think if a hot back seat can delaminates then 140 degrees might, but perhaps a bowyer will jump in on this one.  I would be tempted to put a good dust mask on and sand it off or trying a long soak in water possibly with a solvent.  I would think fiberglass would take the soaking better than the baking

I am no expert though.  I will be curious if Semohunter jumps in here or a bowyer or two

Good luck

I just send mine to Schafer.  He has two sets of limbs now of mine he is going to remove and refinish and add antler tips.

This might work, I put camo duct tape over brand new set of skind Bob Morrison put on for me. This was to camo snake from Ozzy customs. When I returned home and pulled off duct tape    the skins came off with tape - $300.00 lesson on skin removal. Give it a try, these did not see any temp over 100.

No need to heat the skins to take them off.  Just get some straight edge razorblades.  Use one to lift the edge of the skin and work the blade under the skin.  Then run the blade at a slight angle between the skin and the bow glass.  You'll be left with some glue residue that you'll have to sand off, but thats about it. Takes about five minutes to get the skins off.   Good luck.
