I was given a longbow with a joint failure between the accent strip and the grip build-up on the belly side. I want to inject CA and clamp to try to save the bow. My question is: where do you guys get syringes that will work with CA and how do you get the glue into the syringe before it sets up?
-
Can't help with a source but the glue will not set up in the syringe. Just don't dilly dally with it when you load it.

I don't know about the setting up, as it just doesn't-don't know how it works. I use Loctite 420 (the real thin watery stuff). I don't know if the thicker on the shelf stuff would work with a syringe.
As far as the syringes go, I use Insulin syringes that diabetics use. I have a friend who gave me a few.

Check with your local pharmacy and make sure you tell them what you want to use them for. My wife is a Pharmacy Tech and got me mine. She said that most pharmacies won't sell syringes without a prescription, but you might be able to find a nice Pharmacist who will help you out.
