DAMN!!!!!! Can`t Brace This Thing...--- Tiller Check

 A long v-splice solves that alignment problem. Lots of adjustment that way. Best to remove the riser block, do that and then overlay the splice with the block.
   A wrapping set in glue reinforces the lower surface area glue joint.

Splicing can be very difficult as I don`t have a bandsaw....

 A bandsaw is not necessary. I cut splices by hand all the time.

Seems like an easy fix with heat, if it was a self bow... any chance I can fix it with heat and avoid delamination?

Remember its ipe (haven`t seen ipe heat bent before...)

I did suggest in earlier post that this is possible, I've done several times.  The idea here is not to bend the Ipe with heat but rather to soften the glue enough to be able to reposition the limbs and then let the glue harden back up.  PM me if you're interested

What kind of glue are you talking about, Marc... or does it work with all glue? I've thought about doing this a couple times, but decided against it for fear of separating the joint.

[Marc St Louis]

I've never tried it with Urac but I have done it with TB3 and G2.

I feel like ive seen somebody solve an alignment problem like marc is saying, with gentle heat, i feel like they used a lightbulb next to the limb for a long period of time.
