chilly 59 Posted September 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 really , i thought it would be better to use something stronger as will only be glued and pinned Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mally 832 Posted September 12, 2012 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 waterproof pva is what i use, i also pin the sides and use a staple gun to fit the thin ply on the bowback bit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Strong Stuff 2,171 Posted September 12, 2012 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 Cascamite, if it's still available, made for boats. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

whitehackle 4 Posted September 12, 2012 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 PU glue. Easy to use, just like pva. But once glue has set, the wood breaks before the glue. It is really that good 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

AirgunGuy 362 Posted October 3, 2012 Report Share Posted October 3, 2012 Don't use holt melt as it's not a stong adhesive. Waterproof PVA is the way to go. You can buy a small tub for a few quid from any DIY store or builders merchants Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Malt 379 Posted October 3, 2012 Report Share Posted October 3, 2012 Can't beat the PU stuff you apply in the mastic guns IMO. Never used anything better for ticking bits of wood together.. http://www.google.co.uk/products/catalog?q=pu+wood+glue&oe=UTF-8&hl=en&client=safari&um=1&ie=UTF-8&cid=14454664625815368362&sa=X&ei=b7xsUJf3EdGS0QXQ8IDgCQ&ved=0CEgQ8wIwAA Quote Link to post Share on other sites
