Will it work?
« on: March 29, 2007, 08:27:00 PM »
Will this work or should I just order a piece of bamboo that would cover the whole thing. Would Titebond II work to hold it together? I have not found the suggested Urac-185.  I think I remember it being suggested for some projects just don’t remember what for.

The two problems with the bamboo I see is the seams where they meet at the handle and side by side.

I'd say no but it doesn't hurt to try.  Keep us informed.  Be careful with bamboo.   Nasty splinters abound.

I'd be surprised if anything worked, but hey, surprise me!

Sent you a PM about a source for Urac.

The thing about trying a repair, you learn a lot in the process.

More on Urac:

I usually buy two pints with hardner and keep one in the frig until I need it. It will keep for 3 years or so if you store it in a frig, around a year at room temp. A pint will glue up 5 or 6 bows.

thanks I don't really know just trying Ideals. I mean I could take a chance and just try to split it the rest of the way and decrown and back. If the split did not run straight and true I would be stuck.
