Well, she survived the glue up. Everything looks pretty good. I have one spot that concerns me that has a small 1/64 gap. But I believe if I keep sanding I can get below it.
For some reason she only has 1" of tip reflex. I figured she would keep 2". I had 2.75" blocks holding up the tips.
So I sanded down the boo tonight after cleaning up. Sanded off the glue. I need to get some finer sandpaper. I sanded the boo with 100grit, then 220grit. Figured I should sand it as well as possible.
It never hurts. 220 is usually fine. You shouldnt pull any splinters. Ive tillered many bows that the boo was sanded with 220. But hitting it with a 300, 400, and 600 wont hurt a bit. Smoother the boo, less likely to pull a splinter.
As for you 1/64th gap, you should lose that when you trap it. Some times those real thin edges dont lay flat, but they are very shallow and almost always come out when you trap, or sand the boo. If it doesnt, let me know and ill show you a trick to fix it.
