Title: A few questions
Post by: bmfer on August 19, 2007, 04:05:00 PM
I made a trip to Cabelas yesterday to pick up a few goodies. I found some seal skin, but they didn't sell any Barge Cement. Do I have to use that? On the way home I stopped at a craft/hobby shop and they didn't sell it either, but they did have Elmer's Acid Free Rubber Cement, is that ok to use?
My other purchase was a new string. They had them there pre-made, by a company called Hunter's Niche, in dacron. I don't know what string came on my Savannah, so I didn't buy FF. My question is: is this string at least a fair quality product?

Quality yes, way to many strands? Probably. They usually sell 16-18 strand Dacron strings. Your Savannah is FF and ya can use a 12 starnd string of D-97 or other FF material as long as it is not a 100# bow. Shawn

I buy Barge cement at Ace Hardware.. Though I suspect that just about any good contact cement will werk

I've never used Barge cement. Always just used any "cheap" contact cement. Don't know about rubber cement, but suspect it might not be as strong as it could be.
