Glue for splice

Morning everybody
Now I have never done a splice before but I got a set of Osage billets coming what is your go to glue for splicing. I know many use smooth on but for one set of billets I’m not sure if it’s worth it for me? I will get some if I do more bows with backing I have used titebond3 for several but I know I need more gap filling properties
Any one got examples of splicing and what type of glue do you perfer and any links to a how to splice as I seen some on you tube but it was confusing on some
Thanks in advance

Hamish:
The good thing about Smooth On, or other quality epoxies is that they have a long shelf life. You will be using it in plenty of other bowmaking tasks, or other general woodworking projects, so you won't be wasting your money. I have had cheaper hardware store 24hr epoxy start to delaminate on splices.
TB3 will work, and work well, but the joinery needs to have much closer tolerances than what you can get away with epoxy.

Plus 1 more for smooth on.  They sell it in the one pint size cans too.
