riser repair- glue question

[mahantango]

I was given a longbow with a joint failure between the accent strip and the grip build-up on the belly side. I want to inject CA and clamp to try to save the bow. My question is: where do you guys get syringes that will work with CA and how do you get the glue into the syringe before it sets up?

Can't help with a source but the glue will not set up in the syringe.  Just don't dilly dally with it when you load it.

I don't know about the setting up, as it just doesn't-don't know how it works.  I use Loctite 420 (the real thin watery stuff).  I don't know if the thicker on the shelf stuff would work with a syringe.

As far as the syringes go, I use Insulin syringes that diabetics use.  I have a friend who gave me a few.

Check with your local pharmacy and make sure you tell them what you want to use them for.  My wife is a Pharmacy Tech and got me mine.  She said that most pharmacies won't sell syringes without a prescription, but you might be able to find a nice Pharmacist who will help you out.
