Just acquired an old Bear Super Kodiak from an antique mall. Someone camo painted it very unproffessionally with big runs,thick gobbed on paint, then tried sanding it off ruining any finnish and decals it once had. several holes have been drilled in the riser, even a nail in one of them ! I sanded the riser and edges of the limbs, and scraped the heaviest of the paint off the limbs, not wanting to sand them and lose draw weight and possibly ruin the tiller. My plan is to either put snake skins on the limbs or another camo job. In spite of it being roughed around this bow still shoots great, and has no stress marks,splits,delams, or limb twist. I think with snake skins and refinnished riser it will look good in spite of the holes. My question? I need a source for snake skins, and the proper glue to affix it to fiberglass. Roughing up the glass for adhesion is no problem..., its allready rough ! Another option if cheaper, is there a company that makes imitation skins that are self adhesive? cheaper? how good do they look?
