what glue are you using to attach rest
« on: July 01, 2010, 12:54:00 AM »
was wondering what you  guys use to attach your side plates and rests. just got the kids bows in and was going to start playing with some hide to see what would work best for a rest and side plate and figured i would ask.

I'll second the Barge cement, but we don;t have it at Wallyworld here. It is a contact cement that you put on both surfaces, let dry and stick together. Just make sure it's where you want it when you place it as it sticks together real well. It also comes  by the name of (weldwood) that Wallyworld does have here.

If you can't find it locally, 3Rivers carries Barge Cement, and they are a sponsor here.

I use any "cheap" contact cement...the better the cement is the harder it will be to clean up later.

In the last few years I've started cementing the arrow plate/rest material to Duct Tape then just put it in place. Stays put but comes off easily later.

I have some double sided carpet tape (looks like duct tape but both sides are sticky) and I use it for all sorts of attachments. Holds great and removal is a cinch.

Double sided carpet tape. Available at Lowes or Home Depot. A big enough roll to last several lifetimes for under $10.00

Scotch sells rolls of thin foam with double stick on both sides.  It comes in various widths.  I use it to stick rests on.  It looks like the same material that is on flipper rests etc.  Its a couple of bucks a roll at Walmart.

I use D815. It's a seam sealer for carpet. You buy it at carpet installation supply houses. It's about 15 bucks a quart. It like super contact cement only is softer when dry. Comes off the bow easy when you want it to but is very strong. I use it for lots of stuff. Very handy to have around. Gary

I'm with Jon Stewart - scotch double sided tape. Barge will work nicely.

Barge works just fine, but Charlie Lamb has forgotten more about traditional archery then I will ever know.  :campfire:
