You can violate the ring under the overlay. Take a look at the angle of the overlays on some of the bows posted here. And as flat as you can, no wobble

I have experienced 2 failures with ca glue, one I did and the other was a trade bow. Post inspection looked like a starved glue joint. I always sized joints when using titebond, but wasnt doing it with ca. Now I do.

I try to always size both glue surfaces to insure good glue coverage. I think over tightening clamps adds to starved glue joints. I use rubber bands wrapped around the overlays and bow tips instead of clamps. I don't think you can wrap rubber bands too tightly.

Pat, I use old bike innertubes, but I bet they can be overtightened. Might have to give gumbands a try.

I buy rubber bands(about 1/4") at Wal Mart($1.97) cut it and use it to wrap the glued overlay. You can really control where the pressure goes it will fit to any contour and I doubt you could wrap it too tight.

I’ve been using the gel super glue, too. This one violated the heck out of the rings. I sanded both surfaces smooth, scored some grooves into both surfaces with a pocket knife, coated both with glue and squeezed it in place with my hands for a minute or so. This one’s a 75# bow that I’ve used exclusively for the past two years with no problems.

Thanks for the pointer guys. I had some loc-tite brand brush on CA on hand so I used that. As test I attacked it with a scraper and a pair of pliers, suffice to say that sucker is on there.
