Can you add trans tint dyes to EA40?

Can you add trans tint dyes to EA40?

The dyes I ordered were recommended by Smooth On

Can you add trans tint dyes to EA40?

Absolutely.... just be careful not to over do it. too much pigment can reduce the strength of the epoxy..... And.... its messy!  You really don't realize how much epoxy gets on other things until you mix up black pigment EA 40.

NUTHIN' wrong with 45" NTN, Max.  That's gonna be a super bow for tight places!   Lookin' good in blue, too  -- Turkish horn bows were usually painted in fairly bright colors -- red & gold, blue & silver, etc.

So what type of core are you using on this thing... I just cant imagine how to keep something like this stable without it flipping over on you... This is pretty wild....   Kirk

[Mad Max]

This one is similar, the string loop is 3" long, this loop  straddling the lever will help keep it in check
Carbonized boo floor, I may use Stabil kore too

[Mad Max]

Feeling much better today, coughing and coughingggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg.

First thing I did today was shoot the riser across the room trying to sand the fades, only 5/8" thick and 10" long so I made it again.
All glued up and in the hot box

I'm liking these topless forms

[Flem]

I've heard you have to cough to get off, whatever that means
Looks like your heat box could double as a tanning bed, and I'm just glad the topless thing is not human

This bow is very light in the hand, I had to weight it 7oz.

No stabil kore on this one
.160 stack, 1-1/8" wide limbs, 45"NTN 26#@28" 9-1/4"of reflex
I figured it would be 40# with it being so short. 

Here you go shredd --I used this to figure out how long my string needs to be


Siyahs are 6" long, 3/8" wide  between the loops


Buffalo Horn tip side overlays
Still need to glue on a leather bridge under the Y on the loops


About 6-1/4" braced


Full draw at 28" top 29" bottom

Thanks Mark...  Good Tip...  Bow looks good... Pretty extreme...

[KenH]

LOVELY!   Beautiful profile and draw! 

[onetone]

Very cool bow! I like dark sides at the string notches - nice visual detail.

[Mad Max]

Thanks guy's

[Pat B]

Looking good, Mark. Bring this to the Classic too.

[Mad Max]

will do pat

[Flem]

Wow!!! 7oz is amazingly lite. You could carry that thing for days on end and never wear out.

[onetone]

Max is the NTN bow measurement along the back surface of the bow?
