I had a problem with my 9" dankuhta. The butt cap on the karda and chakma fell off. I thought hmmmmm. What is the best way to repair this?

Then the answer struck me. Arrow glue. Beeman Hunter makes carbon graphite arrows. (low maintaince either broke or straight) Anyway the make a hot melt glue that you can heat with a lighter. It is a flexible hot melt, not brittle. So I sanded the end of the horn handle (just to get some of the old laha off) heated up the glue and the brass and put the whole thing back together. Clean up was easy. I waited until the glue wasn't blistering hot, and rubbed it off with my finger. Now both are good as new!!

Great tip, Matt. That's certainly an idea I would never have thought of -- in fact, I didn't even know such stuff existed. Thanx for the info.
