Not sure I like the 'highly flexible' statement in the first sentence. Other than that, I have no knowledge.
Bowmakers are a little bent, but knappers are just plain flaky.

Someone pointed out that pretty much any substance is flexible in typical glue line thickness.
 As long as a glue has minimal creep and bonds the two surfaces permanently it is generally pretty good to go.
Pour a bunch of bowmaking glues out in a thin layer and try bending them to test for flexibility.
 You'll see wildly different results.
 There are a few other tropical wood epoxies out there.
 Interestingly a lot of the basic epoxy components are apparently made by one company and then the specialty companies make their own stuff from those bases.

Sorry Pat!  :( It was not archery related and no prices so I thought it would work. Rules are rules.. :(

I did, Pat removed it. I appriciate he did not delete the whole thread. I like many others I presume, sees something and posts it without thought. If it is not blatently archery related I don't see the big deal.....it wasn't competing with advertisers (I think) so I didn't even give it a second thought. Rules are rules though.... :(

It was a commercial site and they are not advertisers on PA.
Anyone can Google the company name and get the info.  ;)  Company names are allowed, direct links to those companies are not.
