Your saliva and the sinew makes its own glue.  After it is soft I wrap it around the hafting and when I get to the end of a strand I lick my fingers and squeeze my thumb and forefinger over the sinew while rotating the shaft(or whatever. This tightens the sinew and glues the end down. Once dry I ad a sealer like pitch varnish or super glue. TBIII works too.

When I do, that's exactly how I do. Its amazing how it locks itself down as it dries.
