Thread: Removing a knot and resetting it

I had reknotted this brush handle with a TGN Finest 2 band but I set the loft too high for my liking. It was too floppy for my liking. The knot was glued in with 5 minute 2 part epoxy. I decided to do something about it today and steamed the knot out. It did not damage whatever the knot was held together with and clean up was easy. I drilled the hole 4mm deeper and the loft is now 46mm. This is how it looks before I glue the knot in place. Fingers crossed that I got it right the second time around.



This is the knot before.



Here is a link to the original reknot post for this brush.

I am glad it worked out for you, nice looking brush.

Well, we will know if it worked out the first time I use it. I think the loft will work out but I have been wrong before. No, wait a minute I was mistaken about that too.

It's always nice when you get a brush to be exactly what you love.

OK, it did work out. Feels better on the face, lathers well and the knot didn't fall out.
