SAS Posted June 6, 2016 Report Posted June 6, 2016 Looking for info on how menuki are attached on tsuka that do not use ito; I have a project underway using tiger menuki with short stubs on the back. This does not make me confident that friction is in any way sufficient to secure them without some kind of glue. Suggestions please? Quote
Barrie B Posted June 7, 2016 Report Posted June 7, 2016 Hi Steve, I believe it is pine resin glue called Kasune; happy to be corrected on this. It is often used to glue menuki onto tsuka or kogatana into kozuka. Barrie. 1 Quote
