Title: Newbie Question
Post by: Old Joe on September 27, 2018, 09:15:39 PM

Just getting started into bow building, so I'm sure this is a super easy question for you guys.  I'm planning on making a Ipe bow backed with Hickory.  Can I glue this with Titebond or do I need epoxy resin?  Or something else.  Thanks.

Yes, TBIII works just fine with ipe and hickory. You want both surfaces flat and well mated. Some like to sand with course sandpaper before. A freshly sand surface accept the glue well.
