Is no way to remove Silicone from wood fibers unless you drill deeper,all your trying to do is secure a Knot that wgts 5/8s of an Oz.
You do not need Marine grade epoxy or 10 ton epoxy.
No need for...

Just make sure if you test with silicone you use very little, epoxy will not stick to it.

Are no set rules,am a face lather guy 48mm with a 24mm overstuffed knot serves me well,you go with a two band 24, a bit Higher I think.
Above all you want to avoid a Floppy Knot,measure the Vulfix...

How do you lather?Bowl,face, creams, hard soaps, what size is the knot.
