Glue for bow form.
« on: April 19, 2024, 09:18:40 AM »
There was a thread about this before, but I cannot find it. I am going to make a new bow form and am thinking about what kind of glue to use to glue up the cross plywood plates. I am thinking about the glue lines when it goes in the heat box. Earlier I have used a heat resistant glue, but I do not have that anymore. What do you use, will ordinary white glue and screws hold it together?

2X on white glue...But i would use epoxy on the edge banding.... And seal it well with Shellac or some wood sealer before use.
