Email SmoothOn or for a quick answer just call them.They do all the testing and can tell you more about their glue than we can.Good people and they will sure talk to you.

Depends on the number of laminations you are using ,bows with veneers will use more, the more bows you make the more resourceful you become with that stuff. For a one piece bow I would start off with a heaping table spoon of each part in a clear disposable cup , I then chuck some scrap wood in a drill and blend it up real nice. Then  make sure you butter each side of each lamination before putting them together.

Hope that answers you question a little .

I'm thinking equal parts A and B is the same as 100gram part A and 83gram part B. I haven't weighed parts myself. I mix by equal volume. I buy small 3 oz or 5 oz clear plastic cups and fill them to top with each part using heavy duty plastic spoons, then I put on a plastic dinner plate and mix for 4 or 5 minutes with a bondo spreader. For a longbow with clear glass, 2 pretty veneers and 3 tapers I mix 12 oz of smooth on and always have some left over. I think I could get by with 8 oz total

For my 4 lam glass bows I use 70 g of part A to 58 grams of B. Works out right on the money. Just did a 60'' 'curve and it took 56 G of Part A and 49 G of part B, with me having to use every skerrick of glue to make it
