Tulwar hilt repair.

[ariel]

I tried it once: my problem was that no matter what, the dried mix look kind of chemically-shiny. Perhaps, I used the wrong kind of epoxy? Which one would you suggest?
The epoxy putty, on the other hand, gave a virtually perfect imitation of the old material.
The "putty trick" was suggested to me by Artzi to reattach a crossguard to the Turkish Kilij. Worked like a charm! Thanks again, Artzi!
