Do any of you make a bunch of extra loops for your bows? I may have to transport one tomorrow, and suddenly I'm nervous. What if one or a few loops break due to a sudden stop or something?

I don't think I have much in the way of time to make more and have them dry by 4pm tomorrow. But I'll give it a run if you think it's necessary.

I always make a few spares just in case... it's a murphy's law sort of thing... Make them right away and if you have some Tylose, CMC or gum-tax, mix it in to help them dry firmer/quicker.

When making anything that fragile, bows, flowers, etc, it is always advisable to make at least 1 extra, for the Just In Case....

When I made my bow, I made extra loops. Also, I wrapped my bow in tissue paper for transporting.
