I've been doing this for a while now, Dave and it works very well. It's weather proof and gives a positive grip on the bow.
Once the epoxy cures you can sand the wrap to smooth out any rough spots.

I got her finished up today. I shoot another 25 arrows through her this morning and she shoots quite well. There is still a little hand shock but not bad. After being braced for an hour and shooting 25 arrows she still held 1" of reflex immediately after unbracing. Her draw weight is 43#@26" but she seems to shoot more like a 50# bow.
The string does track off the left side of the bow. That must have happened at glue up. Not much to do about that now but she still shoots fine.

Very nice Pat. Really enjoyed following along. I even learned a few things along the way.
