The dubl duck brush in this 4 pack of repairs is aluminum and has some serious pitting. I'm going to be using silver solder on it, hoping to fill in and build up the voids. May be a sheen difference between the two metals but if it flows smoothly I can live with the colour change visually. The key will be smooth in hand.
And sounds good Andrew. Will wait till I have Toms apart to order the knots. DO1-2 for you it shall be.
