Hide glue recommendation?
« on: August 03, 2014, 09:58:05 pm »
Hey archers and bowyers.  Anybody have recommendations for an inexpensive but good quality hide glue for doing sinew backing?  It would be most lovely if it was available at a big retail place like Menards or Home Depot, but it's not a dealbreaker.

Google Dick Blick, an art supply catalog. They sell  hide glue for sizing canvas for oil painting. I've been using a can that Glenn Done gave me a few years ago. It is good stuff and pretty cheap....but not as cheap as Knox.
