Black Fiberglass (Fiberglass for bow backing)

Black fiberglass bow backing designed for building laminated recurve bows and longbows. It can be used over wood or bamboo laminations to add strength, stability, and a clean black finish to your bow limbs. The fiberglass is flexible enough to form around recurve profiles when properly clamped in a bow form.

One side is precision-roughed to create a strong, reliable bonding surface, while the opposite side is smooth for a clean, professional exterior finish. FrogTape® is applied to the finished side to protect it from excess epoxy and make cleanup after glue-up easier.

For best results, use a slow-curing structural epoxy designed for laminated bow construction, such as Smooth-On EA-40 or a comparable bow-making epoxy. Depending on your materials CA Glue and wood glue can also work.

Thoroughly mix the epoxy according to the manufacturer’s instructions and apply an even coat across the entire roughed surface.
