The imfomus matrix "micro crack"

Post by longbow joe »

Basically every micro and matrix bow l have and had and that's about a dozen got the limb tip micro crack.
When l got one in my 330 years back l panicked and was told not to worry and l shot the crap out of the 330 no issues. Basically never had a crack related problem.
My 355s gotstid the crack.and now even the whimpy ...but cool sapphires got it too. I'm assuming it's just the camo dip but it's funny how the exo bows Basically never get it l have 9 exo bows here in the shop ..no micro crack. My vixen has a slight hint of the crack in only one limb and it's been shot by every body and there brother a million times.even dry fired. Different epoxy Different dip?...Any input on the "matrix micro crack would be appreciated "
Say l we're to clean it out with a wire dremel and re epoxy the cosmetic surface what white epoxy does the factory use.

They way I see it the epoxy or glue used shrank over time . The area shown is less than 1% of the total glued area and not significant enough to cause issue to 99% of the micro limbs out there.

Mine have the same thing . I think it is the film from the dipping . That part of the limb does the most flexing . I wouldn’t worry about it.

It's just the camo finish. The absolute last thing you should do it take wire wheel to it

I've never had an Excal that didn't have that, and also never once had an issue become of it either.

I must be one of the lucky ones. Of the five Excaliburs I still own I can't seem to see any "micro crack" on any of them.
Hopefully I haven't spoken too soon and jinxed myself. :eusa-pray:
