Thread: I have aquired the brushes

Here are the brushes i talked about disinfecting. Any info on these from those in the know, would be appreciated. THANKS they have been cleaned and dried. FYI. Shout stain remover works really well.[emoji6]

They look all warm and fuzzy :<0) Get to testing.

Nice pick up. Love the shape of all three, and they all look in great condition, Hair and handles.

The mcNess has a few cracks in the handle. Other than that they seem almost new

I haven't done a whole lot of brush restores, but my approach would be to fill those cracks with something. Say epoxy or CA (super glue) and then sand it flush once dry. Maybe someone with more brush restore experience will give us the info...... A search on here might also reveal the answer.

Thanks harrywally. I was thinking about something like that. Hopefully a knowledgeable brush guru can help. Not saying you dont know,but you said it first. The worst crack is around the knot, down from bristles making a half smile then turning slightly back up towards the bristles. Like a big chip that hasn't let go al the way. This was noticed this morning. Water from cleaning must have expanded the hair and done this is my only explanation.

here is the brush after clean and dry

Ya, could be that the water expanded the knot, or even a bad fall. Or even a combination of both might have done it. If no one chimes in, give Geezer a PM.

I do know how to replace broken handles..... Just haven't fixed that many old ones. If I ever ran into nice ones like these you have, I might give it a shot Though.

The Fuller Brush Company has been around for many years, I also own one that was handed down to me. Anyone remember the movie 'The Fuller Brush Man'?
