I’m currently working on a 3-year old, thin-ringed, Osage takedown bow. I used my heat gun to straighten one of the limbs which was out of alignment by over 1-1/2”. I plan to use steam to bend some recurves in the limb tips now that I have everything lined up.
My question: Will the limb I straightened return to its original alignment during the steaming process, or will I be okay now that I’ve straightened the limb?
Would I be better off using dry heat? I’ve personally had much better luck steaming my recurves instead of using dry heat.
Thanks for any thoughts you all might have.
Will
