Urac is good stuff. I've spliced three bows with it and no problems.

I did one with the Loctite epoxy you can get at any superstore, but make sure that you get the
24 hour
, professional one. That stuff is probably as strong or stronger than the wood itself. Good luck.

All I use is Urac 185 I bought directly on line from the Nelson Paint Co, bomb proof stuff, nothing better. Don't buy over a pint at a time because it has a shelf life of about a year at room temperature and 3 years in the frig.

+1 on the Urac. It is better than the titebond for gluing splices in my opinion because it has gap filling properties where titebond does not. If it is your first splice you will have some gaps or at least I did LOL.

I use Smooth-on epoxy left over from making laminated glass bows. X2 on getting slow dry epoxy, the slower the better.

Resorcinol. That's all I have used. But Urac is probably easier to find from suppliers.
