Title: best glue for forms?
Post by: fujimo on September 14, 2013, 12:01:00 AM
with the forms for glass bows, and the heat issues in the oven, what would be considered the best glue for laminating the layers of plywood together.
i did also screw them together.
i ask this 'cos i saw the post where patb "undid" a backed bow with a heatgun!
thanks

I used Tightbond on my bow presses and then put plenty of screws in them. They've been in and out of hot boxes many times without issue.

What kind of glue did Pat use on that bow? I'm just curious.
