Help on bow please.

#1 Post by UPTHETOP » Thu Oct 07, 2010 8:51 pm

Listen stupid question time.
I am at the stage of fitting my inserts for the limb bolts to my T/D Recurve riser.
The inserts are the ribbed type and 5/8'' thick what type of glue do you fellas use to glue them into the riser.
The holes are already drilled ( boy that was an experience without a jig i tell you).
Any help would be appreciated.

I have no experience myself Wayno but I believe Smooth-On is used to glue them in.

Smooth On or Technique glue works great. I have used both.

Just ask if you need some Techniglue. It would be silly to go and buy a bucket load for the teaspoon needed.
