I doubt it is a glue problem. Probably impropper prep or other human error. Will you take pics so we can see how the overlay was attached?

never had a tip come apart so far and just use TB2 or 3 ....maybe there is to much oil in the wood.

I use several rubber bands to hold the overlay on when I glue it.


x2 on the rubber bands they work great, got the idea from patb

Strung it up and it held, haven't shot it yet, rubber bands sound like a good idea superglue dried before I ever got t use them.
I like free stuff.

epoxy? Its more tolerant of gaps than any other glue to my knowledge.
Do you have any idea how many exopies there are out there??? Your statement is what you might call a 'little' vague.

I use to use tt3 and had an issue now and then,plus the wait time,went to a industrial strength super glue and no problems since,Just a little glue on the area,light clamp,10 minutes and move on. :) TTB does require a smooth surface to work well. :)
