Question on resetting a knot
So I was shaking the water out of my brush today and shook the knot out with it. Can you just use a bit of super glue to anchor it again?

I've used Gorilla Glue too. It's waterproof and works.

Use some sandpapers or your Dremel for the base of the knot-the top of the handle and use as the other guys said a good epoxy.

Take the knot,hold it by the base and do some figure 8s on 180 grit paper (on a flat surface) this will assure that the old stuff is gone and the base is dead flat,ck the fit.You do not need alot of epoxy (any two part epoxy will do) I mix the epoxy in the bowl of the handle,about a 3/8 dab of each is enough,A cardinal sin is using to much and have it ooze out the top,Take a que tip,cut the ball off, mix the epoxy,spread it around in the bottom of the bore and about an 1/8 inch up the sides,DO NOT PUT ANY EPOXY ON THE KNOT BASE,seat the knot,Give it a slight twist left and right,done, can be used in two hrs.
