KENDO
KOTE REPAIR
(how to fix kendo kote)
I
thought up this method to repair my kote and used it for many
years, the repairs can be made quickly and it works great! You
can save costly repairs by making the repairs yourself.
 |
|
A
common problem with kote is wear in the form of holes in the
palm insert. You can quickly repair worn kote in a few minutes
with just a few common materials. |
| |
|
|
 |
|
Assemble
the following materials: Scissors, Contact Cement, and an
old shinai handle leather you might have or ask a member of
your dojo for one. |

QUICK
PATCH
This
patch is applied to the outside, on top of the kote hole.
It is possible to apply this patch on the inside of the
kote but the hole will continue to wear away the hole on
the outside kote.
1. Cut a piece of leather to cover a bigger area than the
kote hole.
2. Coat one side of the leather patch with contact cement
and the same area where the patch will cover on the kote.
3 . Apply the patch when both surfaces have dried.

|
PERMANENT
PATCH
Make your quick patch permanent by stitching
the edges with needle and thread.
