Adhesive for Cord Wrapped Handle

[Tuhon Bill McGrath]

Hi Guys,

I am making a walking stick from a pakkawood dowel and would like to attach a paracord lanyard to it without drilling a hole through the wood. I have seen some cord wrapped knife handles in which the cord was dipped in an adhesive that seemed very strong. The adhesive looked to be much thinner in viscosity than the regular epoxy you get from the hardware store. What adhesive is being used on cord wrapped knives and would it be strong enough in adhesion as to not slide down the smooth surface of the pakkawood dowel?

Thanks,
Bill McGrath

Hey Bill. I'm afraid I don't know the answer to your question but I'm sure some of the guys in the Shop Talk forum do. Why don't you try posting your question there.

Just hose it down w/ a bottle of Super Glue. Works like a charm.
