Default RE: Not good!!

Not sure what your limb materials are, but if its a composite glass bow, you should be fine. The silver strips, as you say sound more like a finish rising than the glass. If it glass, it will be about .005 glass which will be thicker than a sliver strip. It will also come up all in one piece. If that is the case, Id not shoot it agian and get you some Smooth on 40 and use a syringe to inject the delam places and either clamp with spring clams, C clamps, or stretch clamps. Once clamped, place it about 2 inches from a lamp with a 60 watt bulb and cover make a tent with foil over it and the bulb. This way it will cure to a decentthreshold and wont delamat moderate temps. You could also use a whole host of other two part, gap filling epoxies instead of smooth on. Smooth on is kind of expensive.

A delamination is not the end of the world and can be fixed real easy in about a days time. Its not worth blowing up your bow over.

If its a finish, after season, scrap off the old finish with a dull knife or dull bur scraper and reshoot it with what ever finish you like. Poly, Shalac, Deft, etc. etc...
