I'm currently using this heat resistant and flex able super glue but it takes 24 hours to cure, just wondering what ya'll are working with....

I used super glue before, but had them come apart
If your using smooth-on for the rest of the bow ,use that, put a lamp over the glue joint for a hour and the next day your set

I use Loctite superglue, the blue bottle you can get at your local home store. I've never had them come apart. I make a scarf joint on the sander and clamp them for about 10 minutes. I often pre-bend my lams in the form under pressure for a full cook cycle in the oven, and the joints are still solid after that.

Smooth on for me.

I use plain old tite bond wood glue. Works for me.

I use the loctite too
If you cut the bottle open you can get more glue out of it.

If your joint is good then most decent wood glues will work. Afterall the splice is n't really under much load being glued to the glass and core.

It just needs to be able to handle bending into shape at the handle area. I've had superglued joints come apart if the deflex was drastic. I run the toothing plane over the joint surfaces and use Smooth On and heat.
