[QUOTE=SlickWillyTFCF;426775]I've already thought about a new knot form the golden nib, but I kinda wanna keep the brush I'm using in it's original condition. It's kinda sentimental to me. I am looking at some vintage brushes on the bay to do this with though. Whats the process, just cutting out the old knot, cleaning all the residue out and epoxying the new one in place?

There are several posts here about the process many have used to revive an old brush handle with a new knot. Short synopsis, first try soaking in boiling hot water. If a natural glue was used, this will probably dissolve the glue and the knot should come right out. Scrape the hole clean, dry and epoxy the new knot in. If this does not work, you cut all the hair down as short as you can, get something to stabilize the handle (think vise) and use a screwdriver to see if you can pry it out. One said that he had to use screwdriver and hammer to break up the old knot and take it out in pieces. Clean the hole and epoxy in the new knot.

Let us know what you do and pictures are always fun to look at!
