Bowfanatic, does this type of board leave the residue on the arrows the other guys are reporting? How hard is it on the arrow shaft, any spine degradation going on?
It leaves absolutely zero residue on arrows. The water based adhesive we use is comparable to watered down elmers glue. When we laminate the fibre board the glue is kept at 160 - 190 degrees which allows the chip to absorb the glue to a point where if you were to touch the web while the line is running you wouldn't even know we were applying any glue.
I've been with Dura-Fibre for twenty years and the bowhunters have been using the bales since I've been here with no problems on alluminums or carbons.
Another thing to check into would be finding any type of paper products mfg's in your area. Alot of mfg's have to pay someone to remove their scrap paper bales and have no problem giving them away! Just another idea.
