This is the fourth brush I have done, three restores and one custom, I have used the knots from the Golden Nib exclusively and been very satisfied with the quality and the service..

My oldest restore is now over 2 years old, that brush is in high rotation, and has experienced near nill bristle loss...

This was a Dubl Duck brush that I bought probably a year ago that I finally got so time to restore myself..

I used a bit different way of removing the old knot this time, believe it or not the idea came from a newbies post

I placed the very edge of the old knot in my bench vise and crushed it, then spun it around, and crushed it again, the entire knot basically fell out intact no muss no fuss no bristles everywhere...

I re-drilled the hole, with my drill press and a 7/8 in bit used a Dremel to fit the new knot and 2 Ton Marine Epoxy to hold it together...
The knot was one of their two band overfilled 25mm Silvertips...
