Hi Andy,

I would be concerned about the liquid migrating up under the hilt if you were to leave it on no matter how you applied it; that would not be a good thing .
As Kai has suggested and pointed you toward; there are many threads here on the subject .

The final decision is of course your's .

Hello Andy,

welcome to the forum. There are maybe some things to add. The dress (sarung) of your keris is like Rick write before from Yogya and from good quality. Sheath form is called brangah. The mendak don't fit with this ensemble but is ok. The blade isn't original to the sheath since the mouth was made smaller for a better fit. The gonjo seems to my eyes not the original one.

Regards,

Detlef
