Take Down Sleeve Question
« on: March 08, 2009, 10:12:25 pm »
Guys I am working on my first take down bow. I am ready to glue on the  fittings. What is the best glue that will bond both with the metal and wood. Dean

Clean metal, fresh clean wood and JB Weld?   opinions?

I have made long lasting repairs to cast iron tool bodies with JB Weld.   If you need to get it off it is real work to do so.     piper

3m makes a two part epoxy for wood to steel adhesion.
i believe its a 5 min 2 ton epoxy.i have used it for gluing wood to metal,for knife handles
never done a take down yet but i wouldnt be afraid of using it.

I used expoxy on the last one I did.Just be sure everything fits before you apply it.Then be ready to work pretty fast.I got it a Lowe's I think and came in a syringe with the 2 side by side.

i think any epoxy would work, just be sure you don't glue your sleeve's together or let epoxy run into the sleeve.  that will cause problems later.
