I use TBIII, super glue or 2ton epoxy. It all depends on the bow wood and the tip material.

Not to hijack this thread, can someone confirm that TBIII works well with bone and antler?  I have always used plastic weld epoxy.  It dries same color as osage.  Not had a tip come off.  But if TBIII works on both bone and antler, I will try it.

Not hijacking. That's exactly some of the discussion I would like to see.  8)

TBIII is what I use with no problem. I have used urac 185 and it works, easier to grab the TBIII for me, unless I'm splicing billets ;)
I know others have good luck with epoxies etc.
