Tried alot of glues for inserts and never been happy for one reason or another.
So after sinew backing a bow, I started to wonder about hide glue for inserts.
Pros:
1) flexible...at least it flexes fine on sinew backed and composite bows.
2) can be removed with hot water with no damge to the shaft
3) seems to bond well to degreased carbon and fiberglass
Cons:
1) susceptible to moisture...I live in a very dry climate, not worried about this
2) dry time...I'm patient and not worried about this either
3) have no idea how it would hold up to repeated impacts.
Worth a shot, what do you think?
My approach would be apply a sizing coat to both shaft and insert, let that dry, then a freah coat to each at time of glue up.
