So I found this great little brush at an antique mall in Greeneville, Tn over the weekend. It was $1 so I thought it was perfect for restoration.
Sorry, I don't have an overall of just the brush.
I have the old knot out and the hole measures 21mm across. So, do I need a 22mm knot or a 20mm knot? I've read that the actual base plug is slightly undersized.
Have some other questions, I do believe that I will at least coat this one with some polyurethane or something since it will get wet a lot, any recommendations for that?
One final question, the black rubber part will spin a bit. I'm assuming that when I epoxy in the knew knot that they will pretty much take care of that, am I correct?
Oh, about forgot, what kind of knot should I get? My current brush is a Crabtee & Evelyn Best Badger small that I love. I bowl lather mostly with creams but want to start using soaps more.
Thanks so much and I'm looking forward to doing this one. I've got two Ever Ready handles stripped of the knot and will do those next but they will require some filling of the handle in order to set the know so I thought this one would be perfect for a first go.
