This is a good thread, even with the snippin an snipin. I learned a lot, "gel strength" "rabbit strength" and even bone strength. Thanks for starting it and thanks to all for the good info. I have been ignorantly using bottled hide glue for fletching, knoxx for wrapping an musical grade stuff for backing. Then to make things worse I have even mix an matched those glues when I ran out of one or the other. I have had backing failures, but mostly from the sinew/hideglue team overpowering the wood and separating the fibers like a delamination.
Can't realy complain about the glue there tho just my choice of stave.
Oh well enuf of ramblin.
Thanks again for all the good info.
