I'm trying my first restore and tried to set my knot last night. I used Powerpoxy sportsmans epoxy which is supposed to fully cure and dry in 12 hours. I spread some on the bottom of the knot and the inside of the shelf, let it dry for 24 hours and went to build a test lather tonight. Soaked the brush in warm water for about 5 minutes, pulled it out and the knot was loose in the handle. The knot was sitting in a closed bathroom the entire curing time so should I try the same epoxy but let it cure longer in an open area? Does anyone have any other tips on how to try and ensure the knot stays affixed? Thanks for any ideas you have.
