I've seen Typical2 remove some serious draw weight from a bow!  ;)  may be possible to end up with a shooter.

Well called the gentleman who made the lams for me... Wicked nice guy who is gonna make it right. Plus I added two extra lam pairs which were supposed to be packing. The stack was supposed to be .510 total and it's .722 with the extra. I'm embarrassed when we talked.

I thought a 6 lam stack looked a bit much

Yes and the supplier said he will change how he packs them too... Guess I'm not the only one who had done this.

Bingham shipments have also had packing strips included.  Was very confusing first time around.  Lately the have been marked "packing strips".  Got em saved.  Look like they could be fashioned into sleds for the lam grinder I intend to build . . . eventually!

If you can, borrow or Buy a good micrometer, measure every piece in your stack before glue up. In 2009 I bought a cheap digital micrometer from Lowes..it worked OK for a while, got another one in 2011. It started having trouble zeroing out even with a new battery. So i am now on #3..I just bought a iGaging absolute orgin digital on sale for $40. So far it is good. Looking back I should have bought a nice Mitutoyo in 2009..

Didn't think that was ever a possibility, let alone an option...
