Thread: 28mm ST, Translucent Acrylic

Home hardware has that E6000 Mike. I feel like its goop, just in syrup form. Smells the same anyway.

Awesome, and amazing - looks like glass.

Holy smokes... that's near perfect!

Only way to improve on it is to mount a Semogue 2000 or SoC boar knot!

I simply love it. I am one of the folks who liked being able to see the glue in the cup.. how about a closeup picture of the knot set?

Absolutely outstanding work. You just keep getting better.

Absolutely Flawless!

I cam across that E6000 yesterday while looking for contact cement to repair a nick in an old strop.. They didn't have contact cement (??) but had the E6000, but the clerk didn't know if E6000 remained pliable enough for leather.

You should ask Richard aka Rasorfeld. I know he uses it a lot for fabric. It's a lot like the product goop but more syrupy. Might work well for fixing a leather strop.

That's a great looking brush. I wouldn't mind trying my hand at turning one someday. Right now, I am going to do my first "restoration" with a blue/white Ever Ready 200T I just bought. I need to know how the hard rubber/acrylic is polished to a high shine? Say mine handle is in used condition and it has very light scratching from use and it looks dulled. What grit(s) do I need to polish it to a high shine? Do you use white jeweler's rouge on a slow-speed buffing wheel? We need a tutorial showing our members how to take it from rough turning to high shine, if we don't already have one. Thanks.

I've been meaning to do some tutorial videos, and I promise very shortly I will get some up. I have an old youtube account I need to rehash, and figure out. But I promise I will get videos up on full tutorials on how to do an acrylic brush and a wooden brush. As well as how to do a wooden handle using a very basic setup for someone who doesn't have all the costly accessories for a lathe.
