Does anyone know where I can buy URAC and pay for it with Paypal????
I have some PayPal left over I want to get rid of and I want, no I NEED Urac!
-
Why don't you just deposit your paypal acount into your checking? duh....
-
Ryan-
Man that is WAY to easy!
-
I know. Your welcome! ;D
Do a search for Nelson's paint company. They are the makers of urac 185 and you can buy it cheaper from them then anywhere else.
-
You might check rudderbows out they accept paypal, and have lots o bow buildin stuff.
-
I don't think you can get glue sent in the mail. Maybe that's just across the border, however. I know USPS or Fed-ex wouldn't accept glue for delivery.
-
They will ship it. Fedex, I think but its kinda expensive shipping. There's no other way to get urac. No one sells it in a store.
-
where u at I bought some and dont really like urac I prefer resorcinal we might work something out

i have purchased bow grip 100 and had it shipped ups( i believe it was).
got that from rudderbows archery,one of my favorite archery webstores.
-
I have gotten glue in the mail several times. ??? You can get Urac from 3Rivers and have it shipped to you, and they are a supporter of this site. http://www.3riversarchery.com/Thumb.asp?c=49&s=199&p=0 ;D Justin
-
Its cheaper on Nelson's site.
-
You can get Urac delivered just about any way you want....it is a Two Part and they dont seem to clasify it the same as a Solvent based Glue....try nelsonpaint.com..........or threerivers......they both deliver to your Houise
-
I'm talkin' across the Canada/US border. No way, no how, unh-unh.
-
adam, do you ever use G2 epoxy?
-
There is an excellent equivilent made in Burnaby for those folks north of the board. I got some at Industrial Plastics and Paints here in Victoria. I can't remember the name but if you walk in and ask for the new updated version of UF109 they will know what you're on about.
Cheers,

-
grant, do you need a heat box for that?
-
Nope. Been leaving the laminations in my unheater shop overnight and floortillering the next day. So far no glue-related problems. It's made for laminated cedar strip canoes appearently, and those don't fit in hotboxes too well ;D
-
Well, I order some thru 3 Rivers yesterday.....using paypal.
Shipped to my door in KY, a whopping $18.20! I have 5 pieces of hickory bakcing a two Ipe boards........
I am just going to rip the Ipe to Size and glue 'em all up in one go!
Can you say archery nerd heaven?

Also, Weldwood Plastic Resin is a urea glue, similar to Urac. It comes in powder form and you add water to mix. Cures like Urac and once cured I couldn't tell the difference. When I bought it(from Ace Hardware) it was cheap(about $5 for 1# tub). I only used it a few times but never had any problems with it. It doesn't have a shelf life like Urac as long as it isn't exposed to moisture. Pat

Just ordered a couple of pints from Nelson. I use one and keep the other in the frig, about $10 a pint shipped, much cheaper than any other place. A quart is too much glue unless you make bows for a living so I recommend buying it a pint at a time.
-
grant, is it G2 you are talking about?
-
Here's a link to Nelson's site, shoulda posted it sooner.
Actually Dano you did post the link sooner, but PA doesn't allow links to sites that compete with supporters of PA so I deleted the link. Justin
Excuse me ::)
-
It's definately NOT G2 ;D
-
If you order from Nelson, be sure to select the option with the hardener. Somewhere in the description it specified that all of it came with hardener, not so. I got mine and had to turn around and order $1.50 worth of hardener and pay like $9.00 to ship it!
-
grant: why do you say NOT like that??? is g2 bad stuff in your opinion??

Just emphasizing that they are very different products. One is an epoxy and the other is a glue. Supposedly these glues can be used with much higher clamping pressures then epoxy without starving the joint. The counter man at IPP was really knowledgeable when I wa picking it out. He recommend I stay away from the epoxies if I was going to use screw clamps.

hm...what's it called, so i can check it out when i go next...i've had good success with g2, though...clamps or tubes...
-
About shipping glue...I have ordered a bunch of stuff including urac 185 over here to Japan with no problems, shouldnt be a problem for the closer places either I suppose.....

I'll take a picture of the stuff later today, it'll be in my warbow thread in the build-along section.
Cheers,

-
thanks...and i hope that warbow works out for you...btw, have you tried any douglas fir yet? Where I work, there's so much vertical grained douglas fir it'd make you sick. One of these days i'll pull a couple scraps out of there ( i mean, GOOD scraps) and test it as a core wood. We have all the great woodworking tools, so I can use a jointer to taper the core wood, a thickness sander for parallel laminations...oh, i am in heaven.
-
I've been meaning to give Fir a try. I think Steve (Badger) said he had made Fir bows when he was working on his mass theory. If it back make-up most of the depth of a bow with a thin bit of Hickory on the back and a bit of Ipe on the belly it should make for a very fast combination, sort of like a modern foam-core limb.
Updates on the warbow in about an hour, glue cured rock hard in less than 36hours outside. Using the innertube method I have perfect glue-lines this time, no more clamps for me I've learned my lesson.
Cheers,
Grant
Edit:
This is the stuff:

Everybody talks about Urac's short shelf life but I've been using the same can for 4 years without a problem. I have kept it next to the beer in my shop refrigerator since I bought it.
-
Anybody need any hardener for urac I have a bag or two left over. I think they send you a qt sized bag of hardener with each pint.
