    Here it is:

    262476

    I washed it out with mild dish soap last night followed by a hand lather with Tabac that I let sit for an hour or so, then rinsed out. The knot was surprisingly clean and...

    Yup. I have had my eye out for more vintage handles to restore.

    The epoxy has cured and I have washed out the knot with shampoo. I then hand lathered some Tabac to take out the last stink. It bloomed really nicely and I plan to try it out tomorrow with more...

    I epoxied the knot in this afternoon. It is sitting quietly on my desk, eyeing me...tempting me to try it out...evil thing. The epoxy label says it can be used after only one hour...must resist... ...

    I realized after you mentioned this, that when I took the picture, I had just loosely set the knot in the handle. When I really seat it down in the bore, I think it's right. In the first pic, the...

    I plan on using Loctite. It says that cure time is 24 hours after it sets. I'm planning on 48 hours if I can force myself to wait.

    It's been a busy couple of days at work so I haven't been able to get out and buy some epoxy. The stuff I had is pretty old, so I plan to go to Lowe's in the morning and pick up some fresh stuff. ...

    The knot arrived from VS in China yesterday. It seems to fit perfectly so I plan to set it with epoxy this weekend. Any suggestions on a particular epoxy to use? Also, how long should I let it set...

    As of last night, the knot was in Yiwu, China. I think that's outside of Shanghai, but my Chinese geography is not too good. :confused::shrug: When the knot arrives, I'll be back.
  10. Thanks. This one's not hollow, which surprised...

    Thanks. This one's not hollow, which surprised me since most of the Ever-Ready handles are. It's a little uneven at the bottom. My plan, for now, is to use a dremel grinding wheel to even it out...

    Thanks, Mike. I think the over/under on the arrival is about May 28th, but we'll see. The only other thing I ever ordered from China on e-Bay was a Loupe. It actually made it in about 4 weeks.
  12. I measured the inside diameter of the handle and...

    I measured the inside diameter of the handle and it is about 21cm. The Ever-Ready spreadsheet on the SRD Library says the knot size for this brush is 20mm. Based on what I have read on some other...

    I started with 1200 grit wet&dry. It wasn't quite getting to the scratches, so I dropped to 800 grit just lightly over the worst parts, then back to the 1200 over everything. I followed that with...

    It's some kind of hard rubber/bakelite. It's an old Ever-Ready that says "Set in Rubber" on the bottom.
  15. Ever-Ready restoration questions from a beginner

    If this is in the wrong forum, I apologize.

    I was in an antique store last year and found a vintage Old Spice mug that I wanted. Included with it was an Ever-Ready 1000 Pure Badger brush that has...
