Main Discussion Area > Bows
Need your opinion, ...discussion welcome, + glue question + profile
jamie:
manny i added some ground up brick to my hide glue as a color base. that bow lost very little cast when the humidity picked up. later on i sort of purposely broke the bow and tried to soak the glue to possibly save the sinew. that stuff wouldnt let go for nothing. dont know why but adding the clay from the brick made it stronger and much more resistent to moisture. peace
Ryano:
Manny, Ive tried both. The knox works better than the titebond......but the titebond will work if you reflex the bow a lot prior to sinewing.

NOMADIC PIRATE:
Ryan, I was planning to reflex/recurve 2 1/12- 3 " if using TB III, what do you think ?
Jamie, good idea I will ad some red lava clay if I go the Knox/hide glue way,..thanks ;D
Ryano:
If it were me I'd reflex it more than that if your going to use titebond glue. That would be good for knox. I'd go like 6" with tite bond. 8) ;D of coarse that does make them a bit of pain to tiller :P
