Gonna try my hand at a bamboo backed ipe bow

Getting old is a pain in the ###...not to mention other places...

For all you youngsters - what you do today may not hurt you now, but believe me when I say it will come back and bite you in the #ss.  Be safe and follow the safety rules like you are suppose to or you will pay for it later.

Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!

I was on three rivers looking at the smooth on appoxy and I saw they have a glue called unibond800 that they recommend for all wood bows and it is half the price of smooth on. Not trying to be cheap I was just wondering if anyone had any experience with it?

The unibond 800 is going to be the go to glue for us wood bow guys that have been using urac185.

It works great for wood and has gap filling properties.
Smooth on is needed if glass is used.

Unibond800 is the URAC replacement like Macbow said. It is fine for wood to wood, wood to boo, etc. I would not use it for glass. Smooth On will work on wood, but I recommend Unibond800.
