hello, im curious how you did that, did you have to scrape off the bark where they meet each other, and put sealent around the whole thing when done? thanks

Hi castorcrap,
Yes, I did scrape the bark off both trunks where I wanted them to fuse, but I'm not sure that it is necessary. Jerry Meislik writes in his book "Ficus the Exotic Bonsai" only that the trunks have to be bound together tightly.
No sealant. I wrapped them together tightly with raffia to protect the bark, then I cinched them very tightly in several places with plastic ties over the raffia. To be safe and not allow the ties to dig into the bark I removed them after 3 months and placed new ones in different places. CAUTION: it is most important to first place the new ties in the gaps and only then to remove the old ones. Otherwise, the trunks could easily split apart.
