Title: Just glued up a BBO and forgot something
Post by: Flinttim on April 27, 2008, 05:07:00 PM
I forgot to wipe the boo and osage with some acetone before glue up. I remembered it as I tightened the last clamp. Think I'll be OK ? I used Urac.

Well, I guess we'll find out.  If the surfaces were recently worked and not smeared all over by your hands, I'm sure you will be just fine.  Glue bonds to fresh clean surfaces very well.

Tim,

It is unneccessary to wipe the parts down at all.  If you have fresh surfaces, you are good to go.

That's what I hoped to hear Mike. All surfaces were fresh cut, joined and tooth planed.

Never wipe down any of my boo backed bows before glueing just blow them off a bit with some air.
