Thanks, all these are all great suggestions! Bvas I was wondering about sanding toward the overlay, I've always sanded from the overlay down toward the limbs! I'm going to try y'all's suggestions because I have not been happy with the glue lines on my last couple of bows! I finally got them both to work but it was a lot of aggravation and took a lot more time than it should have! Thanks again!! Any more suggestions are greatly appreciated!
