New project
PatM:
Epoxy is also better. I would use silk buttonhole thread so you don't have to worry about each strand lying exactly next to the other.
Actually I would still sinew instead to be honest. ;)
Woodely:
Dont know what some of you guys gat against TB. I have used TB on wrap repairs like that and it holds quite well, if it lets go then it tells me there is obviously to much stress in that area. Band-aids are what they are. Or do what Sleek says "give hide glue a try"
I have seen lots of manufactured old bows de-laminate and I dont think they were using water based glues.
willie:
I guess the speed is all the bow sees...
very nice project. bet you already have some more ideas to try next.
have you inputted your specs into any design programs or made photos to overlay, as a reference for the next try?

I use it all the time. He wants something that will finish better.
DC:
I like epoxy but it goes on a little thick. I would have to practice a bit with it. I'm thinking the hide glue is removable. If it goes on a bit lumpy I can just wipe it with a damp cloth and get back to looking like fresh thread. That's my plan anyhow.
