Hide glue does the job

I used this for sinew backing a traditional bow I made. I was skeptical about how well it would work but decided if it was good enough for the natives...it's worth a try. I was amazed at how durable and strong this glue held! Yes, it does smell...like...well.....hide glue!!!....it aint pretty... but once it dries it no longer reeks and you get a sinew backed bow that is beautiful… read more in the end.

Great Glue

PDM Bows

15 years ago

Excellent glue with a fast tack and incredible bond strength. Also shrinks when it dries, so it makes parts fit even tighter then when they're originally clamped. Some tips: Keep it more watery than you think. Drip the glue on your finger. It should feel like olive oil, NOT like thick Elmer's or wood glue. If it is too thick, you will have a shorter working time, and the glue… read more won't penetrate the cracks. Utilize the cooking cycle: Cook the glue right under the boil point (no bubbles or foamy film) until it it is around consistency of oil. Then paint your pieces with it. Let them dry. By the time they're set (5min about), the glue will be slightly thicker. Then put a nice coat of glue on both pieces and clamp. It will be amazing. Remember the first watery coat may seem useless when your doing it, but it is what soaks the fibers and cracks with glue, and what the next coat will bond to.

This is a great glue source for sinew backing a bow. I recommend a 4 to 3 water to glue ratio when mixing the two.

Excellent glue for primitive projects

Zen Archer

Excellent glue for primitive projects. I've used this glue with rawhide, bone, antler, and wood with good results. Barge cement works as well but hide glue is more authentic. Hide glue is water based which makes clean up easy. However, anything glued with hide glue may come apart if exposed to excessive moisture/water. Thats part of the primitive experience I guess.

Depending on the materials used to make the bow and the severity 13 years ago

Depending on the materials used to make the bow and the severity of the crack this should work well. Give us a call at 1-866-587-9501 and can go over the damage with you and make a recommendation for the correct adhesive.

can i use hide glue to laminate two pieces of horn together?

Post an Answer

If you are building a horn bow then you would want to use a fish 13 years ago

If you are building a horn bow then you would want to use a fish bladder glue that will be stronger than Hide Glue. If looking to install horn nocks on your bow tips, it would be better to use Titebond 3: http://www.3riversarchery.com/product.asp?i=5615

Asked by Unknown 14 years ago

can you do something like laminating the hickory backings to another wood? or is it just for animal products to wood?

Post an Answer

I would not recommend to use the hide glue to laminate wood to w 14 years ago

I would not recommend to use the hide glue to laminate wood to wood. You can but it does not have the strength as a manufactured glue. For wood to wood I use only Urac-185, Titebond lll and also the EA-40 Smooth on epoxy because of their strength and durability.
