Urac
« on: February 29, 2012, 08:30:39 pm »
Does Urac need exposure to the air to cure?? I typically wrap my bows in plastic, and need to know if there is air needed for curing????

Brian;

I've wrapped mine before and it has cured. I'm thinking it starts setting up because of a chemical reaction to the water.

I know plenty that wrap and cure with no problems. I dont myself just because its more of a mess than I already make.

The important thing is a little heat and the mix.  dont'be stingy on the powder.  If you are you can get a gummy mess that won't cure.  I had that issue with a glue job.  I was able to take a putty knife and heat gun and get my backing off the bow. 

All my bows are glued with Urac and all are completely wrapped up.

Note.  Sodium chloride is the active setting agent.  The brown powder is just walnut flower.  If you get raw sodium chloride you can get a "Clear Urac".  13:1 is the mix ratio of the Sodium Chloride. Basicaly a drop in enough glue with make a trilam.

Sodium Cloride?  NaCl?  SALT???  Really?  ...and it's a liquid?  I'm trying to think of what sort of reaction would make that happen...

OK, I just called Nelson's.  It's actually Ammonium Chloride that you want.  Salt will not work here...

Oops, yes.  Amonium Chloride.

NaCl dissolves in water pretty easily. It's pretty easy to make a Sodium Chloride solution. NH3Cl is similar.
