I would like to know what types of glues and epoxy's you all have had the best luck out of for laminations and recurves. Thanks

Urac 185 for wood to wood and Smooth On for glass to wood.

Thanks Roy

2X What Roy said.

But if you are doing a glass bow with wood lams in between, then just smooth on will work on the entire glue up.

thanks I have been wanting to do a lam recurve.

I use smooth on for everything.

Smooth on

God bless you all, Steve

Thats what most have been saying Thanks

I will do wood to wood in the handle with Tight Bond 3.. and smooth on for everything else.  I have had great luck with TB3 for wood to wood.. if it works for a guitar neck holding over 100 lbs of pressure from strings, it will work for some of the riser stuff.

But for glass.. smooth on. I have looked for something else and have had no luck

i am using gelatine glue. works good.

Smooth-On says to mix 2 parts A with 1part B,  For Greater heat resistant properties.

I explained how common the strung bow in a hot car problem is and they recomended the 2 to 1 mixture.  They didn't say it would work to prevent delamination but the 2 to 1 mixture would give you the best chance.  

On the can it says to heat for 4 hours at 180 Degrees.  The technicians say the best heat resistance is to heat 4 to 8 hours at 150 degrees.  The least heat resistance comes from letting it cure at room temp.
