No mid nite oil here. Don't do mornings like I used to.
Got a string on it today and riser ruffled out. Fade tiller is off. Can't sand the twill gonna work on the sides of the strong limb and see what happens.
Other than that rock solid.

Yeah Mike my mornings start much later than the used to. Hope you get the tiller where you want without to much work. I take it you can't sand the carbon itself? Did your draw weight come in as expected?

Missed the weight by one pound light 41 wanted 42 so pretty good there. Yeah sanding the carbon too much messes with the looks of the twill.
Got some cut offs and will experiment with how much sanding can be done.
May shim under the bolt if need be.
This golden years has got me down today tho sciatic nerve flare up

That stuff is not really made to be sanded, good luck!
Hate that sciatica. Takes a while for those nerves to calm down after they get irritated.

Can you round the edges on the carbon like trapping?

Crooked Stic · « **Reply #45 on:** November 17, 2021, 04:05:32 PM »

Yes corners can be rounded

jess stuart · « **Reply #46 on:** November 17, 2021, 09:52:29 PM »

Only one pound off that's great. Did you make allowances in your stack or just figure it like glass?

Crooked Stic · « **Reply #47 on:** November 18, 2021, 01:40:26 PM »

The twill equaled .040 so so .040 less core but same stack.
.020 twill
.030 red core tuff
.001 FT core taboo. 075 butt
1 prll aboo. Can't remember thickness
.030 core tuff
.020 twill
It rocks this big square bag target with a 600 carbon. Ended up 40 @28
The fade tiller is not text book 3/8s but grouped good.

Hold on Maxy

Okay got some pics. the riser still needs some sanding.
Pretty happy with it. Just need to be sure and check the lams in about three places to be sure they measure right (tiller).
It has .020 less glass than a normal layup so I guess that may add a little to performance.
The shinny side will take 220 okay to get a bit of tooth for finish. And it does take the twist out. I feel the 45/45 two ply is way better than stablecore. Dont think you would need two on a normal curve. But those super curves yes. Sooo here ya go Maxy

The block

Very nice Mike.

I like that green!

Crooked Stic · « **Reply #55 on:** November 19, 2021, 10:39:55 AM »

Got some vinyl sealer on the riser this morning good and thick with foam brush.
Those colored stripes are single spectraply sheets. Dyed birch I think.

Vinyl sealer w/foam brush????

You must like sanding

Jeff Freeman · « **Reply #57 on:** November 19, 2021, 11:13:54 AM »

Looking good Mike 👍

Mark R · « **Reply #58 on:** November 19, 2021, 01:49:52 PM »

So Stic how does it feel when you shoot it, smooth ,quick, ect.

Crooked Stic · « **Reply #59 on:** November 21, 2021, 06:46:20 PM »

Flem 000 steel wool gets the worse then sanding.
Smooth and shoots good and maybe a bit faster.
Cut a bit more past center than normal for me so a little stiffer arrow works.
Anyhoo here ya go---
