Thread glue or binding agent?
silberz:
Thanks you for the info all, I went with the TB3 and its seems to blend well, Hopefully it will hold up. I am going to do a few arrows with sinew thread, Think the TB3 will work out ok with it as well?
Starting to get addicted to making these arrows.

silberz:
While on the subject of wooden arrow, I stained them and was going to put a coat of laquer or sealer/clear coat; I decided to just leave them stained without a coating, If I am not using them in the rain or damp conditions is this is problem ?
Thanks

Silberz, if you're target shooting at long ranges then yes, sealing your arrows against moisture is needed. If you're shooting at short ranges, then your arrows will be fine. Most people, however, seal their arrows no matter what.....it makes them less likely to warp over time, it preserves the finish and/or cresting, and makes them smoother.

What is your arrow material. If other than cane, I would seal them. I have used water based poly, Tru-Oil and now on primitive arrows I use home made pine pitch varnish. TBIII glue will be OK to seal sinew. Pat

I am using cedar and spruce, I ask because I am using the quantam XT glue from 3 rivers to attach the fletches and then following up with a thread wrap. 3rivers said that the glue will not hold on a laqured finish. I guess I will need to get some other type of glue.
