What glue for attaching rest materials to shelf?

[Chris Shelton]

Well like a lot of you I like to do things myself so I don't have a adhesive backed rest to put on my longbow. Instead I have some felt, fake fur, and real fur to conjure up some contraption. Until now I have been shooting without a rest, just bare shelf. I was very tempted to not throw anything on, but then I thought why not . . . so what kind of glue? Regular elmers, fletch tite, two part epoxy??

I like to use barge cement.

Chris, you can use Shoe-Goo. It holds great and easy to remove later.Rolls up with your thumb and wont hurt your finish.

Contact cement works great, when your done you can roll off the dried stuff with your thumb. I like to use a piece of velcro, wears like iron.

3m weatherstrip adheasive.....much like barge cement and its at most auto parts stores.

I use Pliobond contact cement. It does not get hard and brittle and it removes with acetone.

Double sided carpet tape.......$10.00 for a lifetime supply at Lowe's.

Barge cement

Shoe goo will fix anything!  Still, I think the very best approach is to use adhesive-backed velcro (use the soft "loop" side and discard the scratchy "hook" side).

Good info

I prefer weldwood contact cement.
The 'permanent' outdoor carpet tape works well, like Don said.  I have one of my forging hammers hanging from a cabinet as a test of the stuff!

[WildmanSC]

Shoe Goo or Shoe Goop.

In a pinch I use fletch tape.  It works really well.

Barge cement... i like it because i have always been able to remove it, without removing anything else on the bow ..SteveT

Rubber cement.

There is NOTHING better.
