Thread glue or binding agent?
JackCrafty:
Poly-cotton thread (33% polyester) with Titebond II.......Or sinew and diluted hide glue.
ricktrojanowski:
I glue the feathers with Duco. Then glue sinew or artificial sinew with the Titebond liquid hide glue.
George Tsoukalas:
When I use Duco for the feathers I use Duco for the thread or art sinew. When I use sinew I coat with hide glue. Jawge
Pat B:
Do you guys that use hide glue seal it with something? Being water soluble and knowing it rains occasionally during hunting season ::), I think waterproofing hide glue would be needed. Pat
JackCrafty:
Pat,
I don't seal the sinew and hide glue....that would take a way from one of its best qualities: EASY TO UNDO. If I seal the sinew and one of the feathers tears, for example, I won't be able to dunk the whole thing in water and take it apart. The only thing I do is put some alum on the hide glue to make it less sticky.....that's it.
And I don't hunt in the rain. Been there, done that. It's not about guaranteed success anymore. For me, it's more about stress relief. If it rains, oh well, I guess I'll just have to enjoy the scenery. ;D
