[QUOTE="jon.henry755, post: 506425, member: 29115"] Hi Buffalobob, Another thing of big importance that I recently learned in the gluing process. It seems that today's modern glues lose over half of their bonding strength with age. This means that i you have a glue that's anything over a year old, you should get rid of it and replace it with a fresh tube, since it will have lost most of its good bonding qualities. Also the thinner the bead you can apply with the more downward pressure on the clamp, the higher the bond strength between the vane and shaft will be. Fresh glue and between 60 to 80 foot pounds of pressure will create an incredibly strong bond of approximately 6,300 lbs. per square inch holding your vane or feather to the shaft. This is more than 10 times what any manufacture uses to date, so it should withstand any type of heavy duty shooting. Jon [/QUOTE]
