Can you use normal epoxy glue from a hardware store for glueing up bows??

I believe you may be better off with techniglue ( trade name ) apparently regular epoxy like west system and the like don't take flexing too well....but I'm no expert
I'd love to have a battle of wits with you.....but you appear to be un-armed.....

Lots of bow have been made from full strength araldite in the past but I would suggest you buy Techniglue and know you are getting the best glue you can...Glenn...
