Skins over sinew
« on: June 23, 2014, 01:45:09 pm »
How long should I wait for the glue to dry. I used tightbond 3. It obviously rehydrated the sinew so I figured I'd wait longer?

I always spread a layer of tb3 over the sinew the day before. That way no moisture gets to the sinew the next day when I skin the bow. Id wait no less than 2 full days.

Give it a few days and check the bow's tension and recovery. If it is still wet it will feel mushy.
