I was wondering the same....  Has any one used the "Urac" glue?  I was reading up on it online and it said exceptionally good on Boo backed bows...

For wood-to-wood joints I use Urac or Titebond III.  I use Urac for joints that will be highly stressed and/or that may not mate perfectly.  I use Titebond for those joints that mate perfectly (i.e. no voids) and that receive little to mild stress.  However, Titebond, when used properly on well-prepared surfaces, works well for wooden laminations.  You just have to be sure your surfaces are smooth, flat, and that they mate extremely well.

But, it's hard to beat Urac!!

For fiberglass backed bows I use smooth on for all laminations.

Generally, laminated all wood/bamboo bowyers use Urac, glass laminated bowyers use Smooth-On.
