Delaminating repair?
« on: August 26, 2010, 12:55:00 PM »
I have an old set of limbs I made  yrs ago that I love and just noticed under the belly glass a dime size glass delam dead in the middle of the limb.  I can’t fill it with CA from the edge at all it didn't migrate that far yet.  I am planning on drilling the delam dead center with a tiny finger drill just through the glass and then CA-ing it.  Any one try this cowboy trick before do you think it might work?

I had a friend make a repair similar to yours.. he told me he drilled 2 tiny holes on opposite sides of spot..one hole to inject thin warm CA into and the other hole was a vent hole, he pumped in the warm thin CA using a syringe till CA came out vent hole.. good luck with your repair
