Specially formulated 2 part glue for laminating bamboo , various woods , linen , silk and other natural materials with the strength you need . 100% waterproof . Mixes clear, dries clear ,gap filling glue made specialy for laminating wood to wood, bamboo to wood , linen to to wood ,silk to wood as well as glass materials to wood. Even Kevlar material !to wood. . Does not slip as much as other leading brands of laminating glues making for less string follow and less reflex loss. . Dries hard but not brittle , flexible without cracking. No heat box needed for curing. However,Like any epoxy this glue can resoften and cause a delamination if temperatures reach over 125-130 degrees.Therefore, using heat to cure will give you extra bonding strength and will increase the temerature threshold at which the glue will resoften. Cook bow at 185-200 degrees will increase resoftening threshold from 125-130 degrees to a much higher threshold. Wrap the bow completly with shrink wrap or plastic wrap before cooking to prevent the wood and bamboo from drying out and becoming brittle.If you do not wish to use a heatbox Simply make sure curing takes place in at least 70-75 degrees minimum. Glue will set up  in about 12 hours and will fully cure in about 24-36 hours. .Bow Grip 100 soaks in deep and penetrates the wood and bamboo fibers instead of just sticking to the surface . You will not be disapointed with Bow grip 100 .For best results, rough glueing surfaces with toothing plane or file or hacksaw blade , ( dont round off the corners with the hacksaw blade) and clean with acetone . Especially clean woods with oils in them. We have had superior results ever since we switched to Bow grip 100 for all of our laminating needs. We have small amounts available for the home hobbyist or larger quantities for the commercial bowyer. Glides on smooth and fills the gaps full and bonds like non other. Try it and see !!

FOR BEST RESULTS MIX EXACTLY 50-50 and cure in no less than 70-75 degrees for  24-36 hours. Mixed properly you can achieve the strongest bond possible ! An improper or Eyeballed mix can result in failure . Curing in colder temperatures take longer for the glue to fully cure. Use our measuring syringes for exact and easy measurements, sure to give you the best results. Scroll down and See how easy it is to use these excellent and accurate measuring instruments . Never miss mix a batch of glue again , use them over and over again. Comes with protective cases to keep contaminates out. Use one for resin and one for the hardner. Sold by the pair

Step 1 , Wear rubber gloves ,make sure you have 2 syringes, One for the hardner and one for the resin. ( Mark them so you dont get them mixed up )
Step 2 , Pull the plunger out of the back and put your little finger on the exit hole at the tip.
Step 3 , Pour in the glue while keeping the exit hole covered with your pinky finger. Use about 45-50cc of resin and 45-50cc of hardner for one wide flatbow . Adjust for narrower bows.
Step 4 , Put the plunger back into the cylinder .Careful not to spill anything.
Step 5 , Squirt it into the mixing cup. The rubber plunger will completly clean the cylinder depositing an exact amount of glue into the mixing cup.
Step 6 , Mix completly . I use a drill press with a mixing tip made from scrapwood . Similar to a mixer tip in the kitchen. .

Test results Glass Laminated

Test #1
60"tip to tip Turkish style flight bow with highly reflexed handle dual deflex reflex limbs and highly stressed glue joints. .Black Glass .050 with Ash core .Pulled 77 pounds at 28" Shot like a rocket. No failures

Test #2
60"tip to tip Turkish style flight bow with reflexed handle , dual deflexed and reflexed limbs and highly stressed . .Black Glass of .050 belly and back with Ash core .Pulled 50 pounds at 28" .stretched to 30" no failures Shot like a rocket.

Test #3
Just for the sake of testing the toughness we made a 58" tip to tip Turkish style flight bow highly reflexed 8" into a U shape. 4" Ash wood Siyahs attached on the tips. .Black Glass .050 with Ash core .Pulled over 100 pounds just a couple inches past brace height . Continued to pull bow back untill the wood cracked at the handle fades. The glue held the Joints together between the Glass and wood while the wood handle and glass combination failed . The Handle was made From Ashwood . .

55@29 " shot 100 times no problems, pulled to 30" on the tillering board and shot afterward. This bow was reflexed 6 full inches in the mold with a Perry reflex on the entire lengths of each limb. It lost 1 1/2 " out of the mold ( usually we loose about 2 1/2 -3" right out of the mold) After tillering to 55@29" and shooting 50 times the bow still had 4 1/8" solid reflex in it . Usually we have about 1 - 1 1/2 " reflex left after tillering and shooting. These bows were shot over a peroid of 2 weeks to see if the glue would become brittle , never happened. These tests results may not happen for everyone but it sure convinced us.55@29 " shot 100 times no problems, 1/4" " string follow . this bow was taken to 30" on the tillering board and shot afterward.
