Josh- OK so i do have some Urac and Bow grip, so either would be good there i think.
I was thinking of gluing that down good, then, maybe puting a silk or fiberglass backing on the whole bow, maybe a little extra at the splinter. I was thinking this because I think the nodes got sanded down to much in the first place and this caused the failure. A whole backing would help prevent a splinter somewhere else.
But I am definitely planning on lowering the weight. And i figure if I glue it down, then put on the thin** backing and then tiller to a lower weight, if I'm still worried i might wrap the ends of the splinter?
Hows that sounding?
**I say thin because i don't want to over power the belly of the bow...I just need something to prevent splinter from raising
