Link is missing the "w" at the end.

Imitation sinew worked ok but I prefer thread or real sinew and a touch of super glue if you don't mind.  I did these sinew wraps tonight to strengthen knocks.

White silk thread turns invisible when soaked in epoxy, and maybe super glue.

I use real sinew on hunting arrows and thread or artificial sinew with fletching tape on all of my other arrows.

I've used artificial sinew and 5 min epoxy, and it worked well... even looked pretty good.

I have split out the artificial sinew, wrapped, and then gave it a few drops of superglue.  The superglue eats right thru the wax and seals her down tight!

The antique artificial sinew looks like the real thing if split down and covered in TB Glue..Hard to tell the difference. I use this on My Heavy weight arrows that will be used in damp or cold climates
