Tip Overlay
« on: February 13, 2014, 04:00:00 PM »
I found the tip overlay of one of my "too many" bows lying on the floor not long ago.  It looks fine-no cracks, chips, etc.  What's the best glue to use to put it back on?

Jell superglue. Be sure both surfaces are flat and clean of old glue.

I have used a two part epoxy. The longer the cure time the better and don't clamp it so tight that all the glue sqeezes out. A little fine sand paper to make sure no edges get your string and your better than new.
