Birch bark on hide glue?
« on: November 20, 2015, 10:44:24 pm »
Working on a sinew backed bow and im going to cover it with birch bark. I've used birch bark a few times in the past and always use tb3 but that was on wood applications. What do you guys like to use 4 birch bark on hide glue?

Either hide glue or TB works fine. TB will double up your water resistance although birchbark on its own backed up with a good finish is pretty impervious.
