Too long in form?

[NYArrow]

Just had a quick question regarding glue time in a form. I know the amount of time is based on the glue and if placed in a bow oven or not...however in my case I didn't use a oven and have left in form for five days now. I just have not had time to get back to it. Any problems with leaving in this long?

That shouldn't matter. What glue did you use?

Won't hurt a thing. But what glue did you use and what temperature has the bow been sitting  in? Urac 185 for example should not be used under 65 degrees.

Bow Grip 100, purchased from Rudder Bows. Its in my basement at the moment which is probably around 65 degrees.

The only problem you may have is trying to get the bow OUT of the form now....

i take mine out in about an hour when the temp lowers to 85 degrees,and wipe off the excess glue that hasn't set up yet on the outside of the form..... Bow press heaters are the only way to go IMO.
