Title: Kids bow
Post by: Minnesota Bill on May 18, 2016, 09:10:00 PM
How Guys, a few questions for you. I need to do a pretty quick build for a granddaughter. Planning on a HBH 48" long, very light weight- 5 year old. My questions are: My unibond 800 froze this winter, any good now? Titebound 11, or 111 better?
Is it better to heat cure titebound and if so what temp?
Thanks, Bill

I use TB3 on my bows with no problems. You don't have to heat cure it.

The TB3, how is best to prepare the glue surface? scored like the unibond or sanded smooth?

TB glues are not gap filling so smooth is better.

freezing my Urac resin never hurt it a bit. I do it on purpose for long term storage, and I'm still using Urac resin from four years ago. when I found out they stopped making it, I bought a gallon, broke it down into pints and froze it. I've glued up a couple dozen hunting weight bows with previously frozen urea formaldehyde resin with no ill effect. Unibond is effectively the same exact thing, but I have never actually used Unibond.
