Can't explain the science. The glue hardens instantly. At least my loctite does. Pretty cool. My buddy Marty showed me.

I use a bottle of PAppy's hard to get ultra secret Super Glue on all my tips.  Never had one fail yet.  I have knocked a few tips off by wacking them on the floor or a rock or something else hard, but that was because I never seem to follow Pappy's advice on putting tip overlays on the right way.   :D

I like medium thickness super glue.  I have started shaping within 20 mins.

Likewise. I dunk mine in water and start much faster than slow poke Carson's 20 minutes.

Put a squirt of accelerator on one side, then you're really cookin with gas ;)

I don't do angle tip overlays but use super glue on all of mine and most around the shop does also,no problems. I use to use TB3 and had a few mishaps ,plus takes to long before you can work them.Yall know what a hurry I get in building bows. ;) ;D ;D

On an interesting side note, I used some acrylic hobby paint from wally world a few weeks back that I mixed in with liquid gorilla super glue and sawdust to fill a hole and it hardened in like 45 seconds. I was really hustling to get the hole done!

I just tried my first overlays and used 5 min. epoxy so I'm glad to see at least one epoxy user ::)

I was told about a company, Starbond, by a glass bow bowyer. They have several types of glue. One of them is said to be 4 times stronger than regular superglue. Just thought I'd pass this along.
