I have a Simpsons Colonel that I wanted to re-knot. I love the handle shape.
I tried to steam the knot. It wouldn’t budge after 30 min or 45 min. At the 1 hour mark, I used too much pressure pulling sideways and it cracked. I glued it together with some glue I use on acrylic scales. But this appears to be the wrong glue.
I am fixing this for my use only and don’t care too much how it looks. But, I don’t want it to crack any further. I am considering drilling a hole at the end of the crack, like they do for windshield cracks.
So, how do I fix this?
Picture with new knot glued with silicone only.
