Alright, the sinew has dried and is holding the crack rock solid. I just put TB II on the sinew to waterproof it. Tomorrow i plan to shoot it in and check tiller. I swear though, the weight just went up on this bow...  :o

Did you sinew the whole back!? Then the weight would go up.

That works - your fix is actually stronger than the rest of the bow.
