Title: applying snake skins to glass
Post by: Si on March 08, 2014, 02:50:00 PM
In all my bow making i have yet to put a real skin on a laminated glass bow. I installed a fabric skin and used bow epoxy and it came out fine and I have seen the utube using Barge. I am sure there are many threads on this so I hate to bother you all but would like any advice or a link to a good thread.
Thanks
Si

Like drewsbow says it sort of a standard.

I think there is a good write up in the DIY section.

You can send your bow to SEMO_HUNTER and he will do a perfect job for a very reasonable price  :thumbsup:

Thanks guys, I thought Titebond was for wood application only?

Not in this case. Be sure to scuff the glass some.
