Lacquer thinner and acetone just smeared it. Mineral spirits clean as a pin. Just needs a bit of adhesive on the ends to hold it and then strap tape it down.

I use the 3M adhesive and the remover, kind of Orange smell
I took the H&L off mine years ago.
also I use the remover on the platen graphite pad on the edge sander to put a new one on.
I would rather fail at something above my means, than to succeed at something  beneath my means

I’ve got a 1 inch MDF parallel sled I use for my veneers always had to hold onto them so I have this 3M safety tread product in my shop waiting for something to use it on. I haven’t tried it yet. Looks like it might work?

Also finished up this long bow 62”  35# @ 28 I keep coming in 10 pounds light but that’s OK. I’m figuring it out. :biglaugh:


And I laid this mosaic up I do say I probably will never do this again pretty time consuming, but hey, I got nothing but time right now :laughing:
Cheers, everyone ! B

Superrecurve(ish) Limbs are funny stuff.
I don't know how they don't have blown up yet.
But they seem to hold Up.

For 3D Shooting, what i do in Germany, there is no real purpose in using a SR.
I just built them for fun and curiosity If i can do it.
And because a friend wants a Onepiece bow with limbs like that.
So i test the geometry as ILF, before i use time and good Wood for a Onepiece.

A SR stores way more Energy than a conventional Recurve.
So they will give more punch in a 10gpp+ Setup, than a Standard Recurve will.
For GPP lower than 10gpp, there is no real Advantage.
The draw is very smooth.
Those are very low poundage.

Haven’t done anything in a while but made it out this morning before it get hit and humid.

Milled up some blanks of black walnut from a branch I grabbed off a job site last year.

Ground down some veneers. Too bad this Padauk is gone loose that bright color over time. Man I wish it would, I’d use more of it.

That is the strangest way to address a target I’ve ever seen. You would definitely get the hairy eyeball shooting on a line with that stance. :biglaugh:

No comment on the super hooks… you guys can have em.
