Title: West Systems epoxy?
Post by: bjordnolf on June 15, 2008, 11:12:00 PM
I have a bunch of west systems epoxy from building spearguns and was wondering if anyone uses it for bow laminations?
thanks

I've used it to glue on limb tip overlays.  Works great for that.  Never tried it on laminations.

Used it on maybe 10-15 bows, works wery well. ust beware it needs 20 degrees Ceslcius to bind well with the wood.
Couldnt make it stick on ebony??

And it can be rather runny.

never had a problem with it. good epoxy for building bows. I use it on the bows I've built and it works wonderful (no heat box)
