My first reknot

[outback]

First let me say thanks, for the help and directions from the fine folks here.
I used my scroll saw, to cut the old knot flush with the handle.
Then drilled multiple holes in the knot to break it out.
Then cleaned out handle using a barrel sander in the drill press.
Checked depth an fit of the new knot.
Cleaned out handle with denatured alcohol, and glued this morning with epoxy.
Give it a wash after work, and see how it blooms out.

A little tip for ya.
While in stalling the knot, I somehow got epoxy on the top of the bristles ( i flipped out, being its 5 minute stuff) quickly saturated a paper towel with denatured alcohol
and rubbed the affected area.
It worked, without harming the hair.
