I used the product to back a long bow I was making out of Wenge and wanted to be able to see the wood grain. The fiber glass I used worked very well and would recomend it to others. I am making four other bows at this time and will be using this product again in the near future.

Beautiful AND Practical

By Timius

from Katy, TX on 4/28/2009

Pros:

Durable, Easy To Handle, Powerful

Describe Yourself:

Beginner

Bottom Line:

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comments about Clear Fiberglass:

I have used this fiberglass to make two different recurves. The fiberglass has a very consistent grain and no defects, no splits, no cracks, no warping. Not only does the transparency provide for a permanent way to preserve the beautiful grain of the limb woods, but it also is a good glass to use for beginners because it allows you to see if your lamination technique is leaving air bubbles or debris. No beginner should use any other fiberglass, period. As a side note, I used this product with the EA-40 Smooth-On Epoxy offered by 3R. Those two products were made for each other!

Glass performance, Wood looks

By B-C Bowyers

from Roswell, New Mexico on 4/5/2008

Pros:

Durable, Easy To Handle, Powerful

Best Uses:

All Weather, Competition, Practice, Reenactment

Describe Yourself:

Recreational Archer

Bottom Line:

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comments about Clear Fiberglass:

I find this product reasonably easy to use. I apply glue to one bow limb at a time, then roll the glass on. Then glue and roll the glass on the other limb. This prevents the formation of air bubble between stave and glass. Before glueing, we apply packaging tape to the outside. After the glue dries, excess glue is easily removed, wash down with acetone. This glass lets the wood grain show in all its glory.
