Re: Phenolic
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.

Re: Phenolic
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.
