? on sinew

(1/6) > >>

riarcher:
I've used the real stuff and was pleased with it in the past,,, but can be messy or PIA at times.

Artificial seems interesting, but all that I see I guess is waxed.
Is that a issue on arrows? I'd think so, but maybe not.  ???
Any real pros / cons on either?

DanaM:
I hate artifical sinew, it looks so artifical, I use silk thread to wrap the butts of feathers or real sinew and there is no mess with the real stuff
if ya just take a piece, shove it in yer mouth and kinda chew it, that way it makes its own glue, works great :)

nugget:
The waxed artificial stuff is better if you separate it into individual strands. I also pinch it between my finger nails and scrape the wax off of it. All in all if you have the real stuff use it.

I've used art sinew on arrows and sealed it with super glue. Usually you have to reseal it after a bit of use because if begins to fray. The real stuff works best and no glue is needed if you chew it first. When dry I seal it with pitch varnish.

mullet:
 I don't use art sinew unless it's for a wall hanger. The real stuff is better. I just drag it through a bowl of warm water and squeegee it between two fingers with TB3 on them.
