has anyone ever used the G2 epoxy from Lee Valley? The description on the site makes it sound like it would be an ideal glue. think I'm going to give it a shot unless someone tells me not too.
I also read the specs on G2 epoxy and thought it would work but I am not unhappy with Smooth-on and it has served me well. I see no advantage to switching.
I've used G2 a lot and just recently got some urac and tried that. So far I don't really see any big difference. I really like the one hour working time with the G2 because sometimes it takes me a while to get things lined up just right for clamping (actually inner tube). I'd say the cost is so close that it is not a consideration. They're both really good, so just take your choice. The G2 glue line is not quite as dark. Rob
I have used G2 for a number of glass bows. There was an article in Traditional Bowhunter a few years back by Jason Jelinek (forgive me if I got that name wrong) and he used G2 in those bows as well. I have had absolutely NO problems with it whatsoever. After I use up the smooth on I am working my way through i will probably purchase more G2. I liked working with it.
Hi, very convenient off the shelf, Exotic-Woods in Burlington have some G-Flex very similar,good for approx one year.Good luck, Mike
It can air cure,or do you have to put it
in a hot box?
I've never used a hotbox, just make sure your room is at least 65 degrees and leave it clamped overnight. Not sure how important it is, but I never stress it before about 24 hours. Rob
Yup room temperature is just fine...
The 12 ounce size would be plenty for one bow,wouldn't it? Ernie
thats what I'm going with
