Hey guys. I have a bow with its first layer of sinew. The glue used was hide glue from pine hollow. I decided to add the second lay tomorrow but i'm out of hide glue, except for gelatin. I would think that the glues would bond together, but whats your opinion?
Thank

Id prefer to stick with the same glue, but in a pinch Id use gelatin with it.

I'm relatively new to bow making, but I've done a lot of work with woods and glues. I've never really liked mixing glues/adhesives unless I absolutely had to. Seems like when you're dealing with something as dynamic and bendy as a bow, glue-ups could get a little sketchy. This is PURELY an opinion - like I said, I'm new to bows.

Those two are from the same family of adhesives though. Very compatible and about like mixing two types of sinew on the same bow.

I'm with Pat. Gelatin is just a food quality hide glue. CC

Good to know ;)

That's kinda of what i was thinking. I'm trying to avoid buying more hide glue when i have alot of gelatin. plus the wife works a double monday. Perfect time to set up in the kitchen.
