Can anyone suggest a glue to use to stick two pieces of Phenolic together. Must be strong as it is to be used in a riser. Any assistance would be appreciated. Many thanks

I would say a good epoxy but I have never used it so that is just a guess.

Hi Sage,

Risers, in particular those for take down bows are rigid by design so stress forces within the riser should not be an issue.

All of the phenolic materials that I have used had a very smooth and impervious surface that needed to roughened up with a coarse grit paper to obtain a 'keying' surface.

Any quality 2 pack epoxy should be suitable but as always check the manufacturers specification data sheet.

Agree with Daryl,essential that the surfaces of the phenolic be scuffed markedly with coarse grit . I use 40 grit but imagine 80 grit would be sufficient. I use smooth on as it is all I stock and does the job very well.

Thank you all. I can see our error. Now to fix it.
