Glue for splice

<< < (4/4)

superdav95:
Interesting discussion on glue.  I may have to try some.  As for the DAMHIK,  we should have an entire thread on this.  Lol.  For example DAMHIK… you should never overheat correct yew bow wood. Or DAMHIK… you should never use gorilla glue to stick your hairpiece on and stuff like that!  Lol.   

Chumash:
I have used some Resorcinol resin with the white powder hardener with good success. In my opinion it is one of the best glues for wood to wood glueing (and also wood to bamboo).
The glue I have used is from Bidan, Germany named 'Bindan Cin'.

Hamish:
 Resorcinol is the best glue for bowmaking, from a bowyers perspective. Waterproof, rigid glue lines, that can withstand steam bending, boiling and dry heat corrections. Other glues come close, but none are as good.

The only downsides are the dark glue lines when used with light coloured timbers, and a relatively short shelf life, and less availability.
