if you want to use a cheap very strong glue use tightbond III , but epoxy is the best choice

We'll I was gunna do the poly resin and cloth but I'll just get some epoxy and do it the right way

So I finally got around to making the gun, I had some teak and made a 40" blank that was 1.5"W and 1.75"T I got all the cuts in it except the line anchor(anyone know length of neptonics??) I'll do it with drill press. I made all the round overs and everything all I need is parts, I have the trigger which is a mako reverse mech my friend gave me I'll upload some pics

There you go! Good job man. Theres other options to buying a line anchor. If you can get some 3/16 aluminum or stainless, or even brass you make an anchor pretty easy. Another option is drill a hole into the stock with a pin through the side. If you want to mount a reel later and need a guide you can bend some stainless rod and epoxy it in. Here's how I've done it, not too difficult and easy on the wallet, plus it puts the anchors completely out of the way of the shooting line.
