Q: What type of fabric is this Asked on 12/24/2012 by hj from castaic Know the answer? Answer this question 4 answers A: The artificial snakeskin backing is made from cloth. Answered on 12/29/2012 by Johnathan Karch from 3Rivers Archery A: I think it is a high grade cotton. Must be sealed to be durable. Answered on 12/25/2012 by Anonymous A: I have some artificial snake skins that I plan to use on a repaired bow but I do not have them with me here and I have not taken them out of the package yet to determine what type material it is. It appears to be a woven fabric of some kind. Sorry I don't know more at this time. Answered on 12/25/2012 by Anonymous A: Cotton fabric. Answered on 12/24/2012 by Anonymous

Q: I have been using real copperhead snakeskins for years and they have a natural taper in the pattern as the pattern goes toward the tail. By the limb pictured, it appears there is a taper in the pattern which would have to be necessary for a longbow limb to look good. Is a taper present? Asked on 10/31/2012 by David from Edenton, NC Know the answer? Answer this question 6 answers A: There is no taper, it is just a 2 inch wide strip of cloth with a snakeskin pattern. Looks great though! Answered on 11/5/2012 by Chrispy from Katy tx A: Actually David the the copperhead artificial backing does not have a taper to the pattern, but it still looks great! Answered on 11/1/2012 by Andrew from Peach Bottom, PA A: No, these do not have a taper to them. Answered on 11/1/2012 by Justin from 3Rivers Archery A: There isn't really any taper and if you look close enough its the same pattern repeating all along the fabric, so (to the trained eye) it doesn't really look like 'real' snake skin. That being said if you just want that natural camouflage look then it works and looks fine also its less work than real skins, but if you trying to be truly rustic then they might not be for you. Answered on 11/1/2012 by Anonymous A: Yes there is a taper in the pattern, very much like the picture on the 3-Rivers site. Sent from my iPhone Answered on 10/31/2012 by Anonymous A: You just apply the backing and after glue drys take a razor knife and trim it o fit bow limbs, very easy! and looks great! Answered on 10/31/2012 by woodsman from Tennessee

Answered on 9/8/2012 by Anonymous A: The Backing is smooth like cloth. There is no texture to it. Answered on 9/10/2012 by Justin from 3Rivers Archery A: I apply a drywall tape backing first then use snakeskin backing. This gives the illusion of texture. Answered on 9/13/2012 by Steve from Texas

Q: Can this be used under clear fiberglass or should it be applied only on top and then clear coated? Thanks. Asked on 6/19/2012 by Sambuck from KY Know the answer? Answer this question 1 answer A: I would only use it on top of the glass just to make sure you get a good bond. If you put the cloth under the glass I don't believe it will bond very well causing your bow to delaminate. Answered on 6/20/2012 by Clint from 3Rivers Archery
