The knot on my badger brush came out. Any recommendations for gluing it back in? I realize that I don't want it too tight in there, will need to be able to pull it out later, when replacement time comes. For the moment I tried rubber cement, but I doubt that will hold for long, what with the shaking needed to dry it out.

I've done two brushes so far with two-part marine epoxy. I've had no problems at all.

Epoxy.
Another vote for epoxy.
2 part 5 minute epoxy.
Another vote for epoxy, particularly the waterproof variety. Tonight I set a new knot from TGN with the epoxy they sold me as well.
My grandpa let me use his lathe this weekend and I put this omega 599 loft into this padauk handle I made. I was going to use epoxy but he was out so I used the glue you use with hardwood flooring. It was all he had on hand. Been using it all week and it's held up great.- Thread starter

If you head over to Whipped Dog they sell a two part epoxy for gluing the knot to the handle.
If you want to remove the knot someday, DON'T use epoxy!
Clear silicone will be quite strong enough to hold a knot, yet as Big Jim states, it can be removed with a strong pull.
