Urac 185 for wood,  or Smooth On for glass.

Depends on what type of bow you are building.

Wood.I don't care for the fiberglass construction,because it's to hard on me.Although they are some beautiful bows.

Urac 185 is the best wood to wood glue out there. I believe it was developed for wooden airplane propellars way back when...
  You can order Urac from 3Rivers or directly from The Nelson Paint Company.

Because Urac has a shelf life I buy 2 pints at a time. One for the shop and one to keep in the frig. I have no problem keeping it a year at room temperature or up to 3 years in the frig.

A pint will glue up 5 or 6 bamboo backed bows as well as a bunch of handles and tip overlays.

i was at the homie depot yesterday , getting tillering tree supplies. they had tb3 in the large gallons , and for twice the price of a pint , it was tempted , but they didnt have any of the tiny bottles , and thats all the loot i was allowed to spend...

i was wondering about hard as nails... we put up a lot of stuff in the bathroom  with it , and was just curious...
ain't got no gas in it...mmmhmmm...
