After drilling out the bristles on another brush, I had a really nice Ever-Ready 89 that I wanted to re-knot. This brush was actually in use, but wanted to remove the old bristles and replace them with a new knot from TGN because it was shedding like my Golden Retriever.
I spent some time looking at other threads where the knot was steamed out instead of drilled out. So I began the task.
Identify Brush to re-knot.
Pot of boiling water.
Steam.
Place a bowl in the pot, away from the water.
Let it steam and set for 10 minutes.
Check, pull, and if the old knot doesn't pull out, return to steam and repeat.
After the timer went off, I opened the lid...
There is also now a slight gap between the ferrule and the handle.
Yep. Not real happy. The boil method is off the table for me, indefinitely.
Live and Learn.
