Cocobolo and glue?

[razorsharptokill]

Do I have to seal the coco before I glue it up? What preparations should I make besides scuffing it?

I have cleaned it with acetone and have good luck.

Never glued it up for a bow, but when I deal with it in a knife handle I like to use part/brake degreaser, then follow that with 90% isopropyl-ROH.

I've useed cocobolo in numerous bows and have good luck cleaning it really well with acetone.  I usually wipe it with acetone until the color stopped coming off on the rag...  

Just remember to wear gloves and use acetone in a well ventilated area...  

Happy hunting,
