Glues and Adhesives
« on: January 12, 2012, 01:07:58 am »
Has anyone had any success using Titebond 3 for building laminated bows.......and is it recommmend by any Experienced builders on Primitive Archer..?
I cannot seem to find URAC-185 but have found the marine Variety and also a contact type of  cement which is guarenteed against creep and is usefull for gluing various materials together like, plastic to wood, steel to wood, fiberglass to wood.etc....etc......comes in oil and water base form.

Tons of guys are using Titebond for laminated bows. It is probably the most recommended glue. The only thing it is not recommended for is replacing hide glue with sinew back or horn bellies.

Might I suggest the search option in the future. Search for Titebond and you will find tons of recommendations and tips.

I have started to use titebond 3 on all my laminates, even things like Ipe which are difficult to glue. I only make heavy bows, I have two 130lb bows that are glued with titebond I have just glued up two more staves it is a very good glue, im about to reback a 160lb bow with the glue which should be a good test.
