Thanks fellas,  much appreciated


Kegan, wet the strips of cloth, squize the extra water out and stretch them,  hung them, get some TB III on one limb, put the strip down, work the extra glue out
from handle to tip, do the same to the other limb, go back to the first massage the cloth in, do this to both limbs a couple of times, clamp at the handle and tips, ...as easy as that, takes more to write than do it 

if you want later after you cut the excess out ( but not all the way flush ) you can apply a coat of really thin TB III, that will help with any possible fraing at the edges ( use fine rasp going from back to outher edge to get it flush ) .........piece of cake

Very nice job on that one Manny!

[Kegan]

Thanks Manny, I'll have to try that. For some reason I always make a mes of TB II and cloth. Wasted probably a quarter of my bottle .

So you use a fine rasp to get the edges flush with some extra TB III to harden it up?

[NOMADIC PIRATE]

Thanks Greg.

Kegan if you put TB III over the cloth, you have to do it after it's dry, and the glue has to be quite thin, otherwise the job doesn't look so good, using the fine rasp on an outward motion from the back towards the edges will give you a neet job

Thank you Manny ! I've always tried to use a razor to carefully cut it away, but it never worked- the final bow was always sort of squiggly and ugly. You've really helped me out.
