What glue do you use to glue the skins one with?

I ask because I put skins on a recurve last year using TBII and topped with Super glue, and one of the limbs started coming loose when I unstrung it the other day. Not sure what I did wrong besides use the wrong glue maybe. Thanks

A S those look great. i posted a while back on a different form  asking how to apply skins properly, i got 2 responses saying they didn,t know, and one asking why i would put skins on a beautiful piece of wood. i said they look good,are one of natures best camos and they look better on a bow than under my feet. would you tell me the proper way to apply them? i would greatly appreciate it. it certainly looks like you know what your doing.

A.S.

Thanks again guys. For those who are asking, here is a great tutorial that I have followed. The only thing I did different, was I did not use superglue over the skins (I had several folks say that had bad experiences with it). I applied the skins with Tite Bond III, then sealed the skins with 5 coats of Tru-Oil. To cut down the shine, I sprayed a couple light coats of Krylon Matte Finish. This stuff is awesome, it matches most bow finishes exactly and is really tough!

I'm jealous Danny.

Good job Allen, maybe Danny will start smiking everyone in your gang now with that flashy bow. If I don't see you tomorrow will for sure at the fest.
The essence of the hunt for me is to enter nature and observe+ return safely occasionally with the gift of a life taken.
