Title: glue, epoxy etc...
Post by: kipplin93 on October 24, 2009, 02:05:00 AM
I was just wondering if some of you more experienced bowyers could give me some ideas on the basic glues, and epoxys needed for basic bow building.

Urac 185 -  best wood-wood

Smooth-on -  best wood to glass, and very good wood-wood (all I use any more)

CA (super glue) -  many uses.  Works well in the gel form on tip overlays.

Tightbond III-  Good for all wood laminated bows.
