Everybody is going to say smooth on epoxy if fibrrglass is involved.  Unibond 800 is what alot of people use for all wood bows but many use smooth on for that too.  You can use tite bond III but it doesnt fill gaps like an epoxy will.   Where is your quote from, I like that.

Henry David Thoreau is the author of the book titled Walden.  I am pretty sure that is where the quote came from.

if you use titebond III...do not leave your bow in a car on an August afternoon.  Unless of course,  you want to disassemble that bow.
