For tip overlays I get both sides matching perfectly on a belt sander.  I clean both surfaces with acetone before gluing.  I wrap them with a bunch of rubber bands.  I haven't had one come loose yet.
I started out with nothin' and I still got most of it left

Its a good 2nd or third choice. For wood on wood its fair.

It has prolly 1/5th the strength of a gud two part bonding epoxy.

Yep, ive used all kinds of glue on tips. If you were selling them for a biz you'd use what the pros use.

I've dropped bows from a balcony 10' onto concrete with overlays put on by smooth-on and they hav'nt popped off.Dumb thing to happen but it did.Fell of guard rail while trying to take picture of bow.Bows have dropped off bow rack onto tiled floor many times too with no pop offs.I missed Gary Davis's class.I've laminated plenty of BBO's and 2 piece take down bows though.
