Making a wingbone

[Uchee creek gobblers]

I'm working one my first wingbone and I was wondering what kind of glue to hold the joints. I've seen some that look like they have thread wrapped at the joints, what is it exactly?

I use 5 min 2 part epoxy..joints are thread wrapped. Hope this helps

I use two part epoxy first to join the bones, then I build up and sculpt the transition at the joints with ApoxieSculpt, I've also used a moldable carpenters epoxy for that in the past.

Okay that was something I was curious about was if you put anything on the joints to taper them down. Where do I get the thread for thread wrapping?

You want to get rod wrapping thread. I personally like ProWrap from MudHole. I wrap with size A, which is the really thin stuff. I use ProKote (also from MudHole) to cover the wraps.

I do mine just like they said.  I use Flex Coat but have heard a lot of people liking Prokote.  As far as thread size, you may want to start with a little larger diameter of thread (D) at first and then work your way down towards an "A". 

If you do use Flexcoat/ Prokote you will need to buy or make a call turning jig.  These finishes dry extremely slow and will need to be turned slowly for a few hours or the finish will sag.
