        My Bear hair rest won’t stay on my Samick recurve. The leather plate is fine but the hair part keeps loosening and about the 3 arrow goes flying..

        What kind of glue can I use to make sure it stays?

          Barge Cement oughta work great. Just practice a tad cause a little can make a big mess. Stuff peels off good though when you wanna change things.

                    A local hardware store had Barge cement, so I bought it there and it is currently holding the bear hair down, with some assist from some duct tape and I’ll shoot tomorrow..Hopefully it works..

                    Thanks everyone..

                      Barge cement is veri good glue, but agressive, forget varnish on what you use it

                      Neoprene do not burn varnish can be remove without spoor ( trac)
