Titebond glue paint for painting a bows back?
« on: January 07, 2012, 12:35:47 am »
Anybody ever mix paint with titebond to make a paint that won't brake off when the bow is drawn?

I bet you could mix dry tempera paint with it, just like you could do with pigments and hide glue.

Nobody seems to have trouble with Acrylic.
 I would imagine TB would work but it might muddy the colour somewhat.

I've mixed acyrlic paint with plaster and caulks before, as long as everything is water-base I don't see a problem. As mentioned above, the TB wil tint the paint some. I normally use TB II which dries a little yellow. You might mix 'em and let it dry beforehand just to check the color purity.

The craft paint you can buy at Walmart works very well for decorating bows. It comes in many colors and is water based.
