New Bear Mag-handle, grip/glue suggestion??
« on: August 13, 2022, 06:16:49 PM »
I've had a lot of fun shooting my new Mag-handles!! However...

The grip on my "moss green" came off. They used a type of double faced tape to put it on at Bear.
Now that it has come off, It will not stay in place when put back on.

Does anyone have a glue suggestion, that will not harm the riser paint...???
Rubber Cement, was a total failure...  :banghead:
I only shoot WOOD arrows... My kid makes them, fast as I can break them!

There is a fine line between Hunting, & Sitting there looking Stupid...

May The Great Spirit Guide Your Arrows..... Happy Hunting!!!

Just use some fresh double backed tape.  Sure it will loosen again, but should be able to get months, maybe even a year or two before you need to replace it.  Most glues, other than contact cement, are going to eat into the finish.  BTW, I've used contact cement with good results.

I was thinking contact cement, Jerry....
Wasn't sure if it would harm the finish?? Any particular brand???

I used 3M Indoor/Outdoor double sided tape about 5 years ago on my mag riser. It’s still holding. Another glue I remember using on bows was Barge Cement. I see it at hobby lobby these days in craft section. Like contact cement, rolls into a ball when you remove it.

Use a new piece of double sided carpet tape. Clean the residue of the old tape off first.

I use contact cement on the older models. I put on both the riser and grip wrap tight w electrical tape and leave for a day or two. Solid.
It's really simple. Just don't take those borderline shots. Tomorrow is another day.
