metal or fiber wraps on a kris gandar

[David]

I've never done it. On this one of mine it does appear that some glue of some type may have been used to secure it, but i don't know what is traditional. There are certainly ways to tie off a wrap like this without the use of adhesives. Also the glue may have just been a repair to fix a loose piece. Impossible to know at this point i'm afraid.
