Title: Silk Backing
Post by: Dennis G on January 12, 2014, 02:58:00 PM

What is the best method to attach silk to the back of a oak board bow ?  I have some tightbond 2; is this good? Or is there something better?

That,should do fine. The only difference in the 2 or 3 is the 3 is more waterproof.
But if your sealing with another finish it doesn't matter.

I'd size the bow with the glue first.
