T/D Sleeve Epoxy?
« on: August 02, 2009, 08:11:00 AM »
Anyone used anything other than MT 13, can't find it locally and shipping is almost half the price of the epoxy?

I just used the 5ton stuff they sell at wally world, but every time I draw the bow for the first time, I hear a creak, the epoxy cracking, kinda un-nerving    "[dntthnk]"  Don't think I'd do that again.

I have used JB Weld with good results.I roughed everything up with a hacksaw blade and cleaned it up with Acetone.No problems.

Thanks,I guess if it's worth doing, it's worth doing it right.

JB Weld for me, too. I clean it with acetone and sand it a little with 150 grt. emory cloth.

Shocked all the JB users.  But after thinking about it, would would fill any voids you got nicely.  I wonder if this MT-13 I bought is just a waste.

JB Weld is just good epoxy with fine metal mixed in I think.

It has been several years since I used the sleeve system, I used Devcon Plastic Steel.  It worked great and is a little thicker than JB Weld.  I used it on five or six bows and as far as I know they are still going strong.
