Hi,
Got a bow with a small piece of grain lifting on the (Ash laminate) back of the bow. The area affected is only about 10mm long and 5mm wide and triangular. Thought I would reinforce the area with a strong black thread and glue matrix (seen this on other peoples longbows). Question is: What thread? Should I use a bowstring serving thread, or linen, cotton etc? Also, what glue? could use superglue (easy) or Araldite (sticky/messy). Or should I use something else entirely?
Looking forward to your collective wisdom,
Dennis.
