    So YOU'RE one of the people I'm bidding against on Ebay for some of the old brushes, eh?
    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.

    I just got a vintage brush in the mail today from ebay. Can't wait to give this a try. Still trying to figure out how to get the old knot out.

    I just use a spade bit after trimming the hair off the old brush... but there is a tutorial here

    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.
