Bow boo boo
I’m no bow repair expert but I got it stuck back down without gluing my fingers to anything. I carefully eased a safety pin under the glass and filled it with super glue. It look like the glue seeped into all the delaminated area and I clamped it down and wiped off the glue that squeezed out. Hopefully it stays together.

Re: Bow boo boo
Hope it works for you, Dan. You might have been better off using the LocTite glue but time will tell.

Re: Bow boo boo
Yes, I hope it works out for you also.
Have you shot it since the repair?

Re: Bow boo boo
Haven’t yet. Thought I’d give it overnight to make sure the super glue dries all the way
Re: Bow boo boo
Yeah, your probably better off waiting. I didn't take note of the time that you started this thread.
Good luck with it.

Re: Bow boo boo
Hope it works for you. It’s odd that it happened in a place that doesn’t bend, but strange things happen. Because it doesn’t I would think it may work. But if your like me that worry will always be in your mind when you draw, hope your not like me!
On this subject I will leave this here. For this and other type bow repairs I highly recommend Locktite 420. Hard to find, super expensive, super thin, and be super careful using! Mine turned over in my fridge, because it’s so thin a little seeped out, I had to cut a piece of my refrigerator door out around it to get it out, its now a permanent part of the bottle! But it sure gets into cracks and it is unreal strong, I’ve seen it hold some serious cracks.

Hopefully it works. But now you have an excuse to get a new bow.
