backing glue

[tradguy2]

Hey guys,
   I joined tradgang a couple of days ago after a couple of guys had told me about it at the Tennessee Classic last weekend. What a cool website. I am building a bamboo backed bow and am curious as to what you guys would suggest for an adhesive for the backing. I had bought some hide glue, but had a little trouble getting it applied before it started setting. I may not have mixed it right. I am new to traditional archery and have plenty to learn. Any help is appreciated. Thanks

I would use tite bond 3 its water proof and hide glue isn't make sure both surfaces are nice smooth and flat.

Thanks for the help, I'll give it a try.

I use Urac for wood and bamboo, better gap filling properties.

I have been using smooth on EA-40 for everything glass and wood I love the way it works for me.

I used TB3 when i first started, and most of the time it worked fine...but since i tried Urac so that i could have a better gap filling glue that didn't need a hotbox. For boo its the way to go.
i prefer it for all applications other than glass, and tips (i used gorilla super glue for tips). although for smooth wood to wood joints TB3 it probably the cheapest.

thanks for the help guys, that gives me a good idea where to start
