I going to restore this old brush. Using Vinny Bobo's restoration post (thanks Vinny) as my guide I have managed to the remove the knot whithout damaging the handle. Yay!!
I need a little advice from the pros in order to continue:
As you can see from the photos a lot of the old epoxy remains in the bottom of the handle. Apparently it was used to build up a floor for the old knot. Should I remove it or is it OK to leave it?
Also, the hole measures 15/16" or 23 mm (approx). What size knot should I order? Are they all the same length? I would like to set the loft at 48-50 mm.
