Horn bow glueing question.
« on: January 21, 2013, 02:48:34 pm »
I'm gonna glue up a horn bow with sinew on the other side of the core.Glueing the horn on with hide glue.Would a week be long enough for the hide glue to cure before taking my wrapping off it?

Leave it clamped for  7 -14 days. Have you grooved the horn and core?
