Why dont you just hit that other limb again with heat? What you described happens all the time. You just gadda re heat the weaker limb. Then do a touch of scraping to get it back to spot on.

I gotta ship tomorrow at the latest.  The finished bow is a lock.  Futzing around heating and retillering won't guarantee anything but frustration from rushing it and screwing up. I'll go back to it when I have the luxury of taking my time.

At least the arrows turned out well!  Thanks 3Rivers!   >:D
