Author Topic: Boo backing, Solvent for glue? (Read 2067 times)

I just glued my bamboo backing onto my juniper and now I realized that I did not have enough clamps and this isn't going to work

Can I soak it in water or something to get the glue off so I can save these pieces? Thanks!

What glue did you use? If Tite-Bond glue, you can heat the bow up to 150deg(F) and the glue will release. If Urac, you are stuck(

) with it.
I wouldn't think that juniper would be strong enough in compression for a boo backing.

If you clue the backing on again use strips of inner tubes and wrap them tightly around the the bow starting from the grip to the tips.

overlap the inner tube as you wrap also

how perfect does this have to be? I mean if there is like 1/32" glue filled gap in spots is that alright? 1/16"?
