Need your opinion, ...discussion welcome, + glue question + profile
PatM:
Apparently Liquid hide glue works OK if it is a fresh batch(hard to tell) and dried well and then sealed. Using regular TB will just make your sinew inert rather than retaining elastic properties. It would be like installing shocks and encasing them in concrete.

Justin Snyder:
Liquid hide glue is basically the same as hot hide glue. They add a salt solution to it to decrease the melting point. This makes it stay liquid and slightly weaker than the regular stuff. Justin

O.K., Knox/hide glues are what I'm leaning towards,.....for now ;D
D. Tiller:
I'm trying an experiment right now with TB II and sinew. I'm of the opinion that the problem is that TBII does not penitrate the sinew well and let it relax. What I'm doing is pre-wetting the sinew in water untill it relaxes then wringing out the sinew and then dipping it in TBII before aplying it to the bow. I also wrapped the bow in siranwrap to slow down the drying and give the glue a chance to dry at the same speed as the glue. I will keep you posted on what happens!
