Looks like you have more epoxy to get out. Take a drill with a drill bit, 3/16 maybe, and keep drilling deeper in 1/8" increments going deeper and deeper until you see the material change. Then you'll know the depth of the epoxy. Once your that far, do some more holes to that same depth, then try and crack the rest of the epoxy out of there. Worst that happens is you wreck the handle and you'll have some experience for the next one you get.

Measure the badger holes diameter, buy a TGN finest 2 band 2mm smaller than the size measured and epoxy it in there using pennies to get the loft to 48mm. ( You don't have to do it to 48mm loft, that's just where I'd put it at.)

Harry I followed your directions and here we are today. Knocked out the epoxy, following your instructions, then sanded with a dremel with sanding tip until everything felt level. I polished the plastic handle with some automotive polish I sell (I sell detail supplies on the side) and lastly used a white crayon to fill in the bottom lettering. Now to find a knot. I will probably go with boar since the handle says "pure bristle".
Any suggestions on vendors and also, what type of epoxy should I use? Not really familiar.
