heres the rub ,the cracks follow the grain up n down the limbs, the top limb shows some snaking and thats where they run off the edge,once at the edge u can see where they are at, but,they are not raised

Stix, art sinew is useless for repairing bows, it also has wax in it so it wont glue, Take the art sinew off and get some of the real stuff. Just a little practice and you will figure it out, plenty of guys on here to help you through it. Art sinew just looks a bit like sinew but has none of its properties. Steve
