Title: URAC Full Strength
Post by: PeteDavis on June 11, 2010, 12:54:35 am

I just glued on a handle section with URAC 185. It's been warm here, 80 by day. If I leave this bow in the sun tomorrow, can I shape and shoot it tomorrow evening or is there a waiting period with URAC 195?

PD

Pete, at the right temp, only an hour or two. I usually give it at least 24 hours after glue up before stressing it. I use a hot box at about 100 deg and generally Urac is hard in 2 hours. Then I let it cool down slowly.
