Laminate bows

Hey haven't been here for awhile so I thought I would ask a question. I have a laminate bow that i made that is boo backed hickory with an osage handle. It is a reflex deflex and I left it in the garage and it delaminated.
I made this a long time ago and didn't know how to splice so the boo is flat against each other. One limb is delaminated to about 4" away from where the boo ends. What should I do to get it back together? I will post pics a little later. Thanks

Once a laminated bow has delaminated, it's junk. You can try and remove the backing and redo it, but you can not re-glue the backing in place.

I've removed boo backing and reused the belly wood before. It can be done, but make sure all the surfaces are flat before you glue on another backing strip.

What glue did you use? Why would storing it in the garage cause it to delaminate? If your garage is damp I would suspect that fungi has already gotten into the boo and hickory.
