    They look really great & that's a good way to get a quality brush for a far lower cost. How are you finding the knots? Are you happy with the quality?

    Will have to post back on that as I am giving them extra time for the glue to dry.Directions say 24 hours,but I'm giving them at least twice that since the knot bases are down in the handles and can't get much air.

    So YOU'RE one of the people I'm bidding against on Ebay for some of the old brushes, eh? Hey, a guy formerly afflicted with RAD and HAD needs to go somewhere for fun where the competition isn't completely saturated!

    Good job on the restos.

    Maybe on the yellow one.That's the only one I went above the minimum on.I put minimum bids on 3 others that day expecting to maybe get one,and guess what? Got all three.
    Did we just experience BAD ?Still got the RAD though

    Nice brushes.

    Just a bit of info, epoxy does not need air to cure. It's a chemical process. So giving it extra time is not needed.

    Nice work

    I've used Tony's knots on 4 brushes. Very happy with them.

    True, but the volume of epoxy can drastically effect curing time with some epoxies, so giving it extra time probably isn't a bad idea since there may be a lot of epoxy in the bottom of that brush.
