Hello everyone, I am at my wits end with this brush and knot. I have a Alpha T-400 shaving brush and I love it but the trouble I am having is gluing the badger knot I have to the circular base plate that gets screwed to the ferral. I glue the knot and wait 18 to 24 hours and then screw it into the ferral.
It is good for about 10 to 20 shaves, give or take, and then it comes loose. I have used Gorrilla 5 minute epoxy and I have also tried JB weld clearweld epoxy and they both break free after a little use. I have sanded down the base plate to rough up the surface as well as the base of the knot to see if that helps the epoxy hold better but no luck.
What am I doing wrong guys, I have never had any problems with other brushes I have done.
Sorry for the rant.
