Favorite Glue for Bow Tips

[Ray Borbon]

What is glue you would recommend using for gluing on tips where the bow strings go?

I have a disclaimer

Smooth-on for glass bows
Urac for all wood / bamboo bows

Well I went with Urac 185. It worked suprisingly well as far as I can tell. I was gluing ipe tips onto bamboo. I am not sure how that glue would work on phenolic or horn overlays.

In the past I have used Kwik-It with an accelerator which was quite good for horn overlays and also for phenolic.

Still learning but it's interesting to get a vote.
