Title: Glue question
Post by: snowplow on October 22, 2015, 03:13:33 pm

Hi guys, what glue would you attach an antler tip overlay? I've never done one!

Thank you, love this site!

I put all of mine on with Loctite super glue.

Good super glue. Sand the mating surface clean on the antler, blow out the pores good. Then back fill with glue until it wont take anymore. After it dries hard sand it smooth again and use the same glue to glue it to your bow.

Thanks fellas, I would have figured it would be something fancy. This is great!

Are we talking about the old style thin stuff or the new gel type?

Thin super glue to saturate the antler pith first and either thin or gel to glue to the bow. Do be sure you have very good, well mated glue surfaces.
