I've used it to glue on limb tip overlays.  Works great for that.  Never tried it on laminations.

Used it on maybe 10-15 bows, works wery well. ust beware it needs 20 degrees Ceslcius to bind well with the wood.
Couldnt make it stick on ebony??

And it can be rather runny.

never had a problem with it. good epoxy for building bows. I use it on the bows I've built and it works wonderful (no heat box)
