I tried the thin brown paper like Pat M mentioned...
it scared the hell out of me when it cracked the first time I drew the bow after the glue had dried a few days.
I won't do that again!

I've never had a problem with paper backings. Just like with other backings you don't want too much glue. You do want to saturate the backing but no excess glue.
