Can you safely remove a rooney knot without damaging it? I would love to set it a bit deeper to reduce its splay.
Does the steam method apply here

Rooney 2/1 - setting knot deeper?

I don't know. Generally you have to sacrifice the handle to save the knot, or sacrifice the knot to save the handle. I have never steamed a knot but I have seen handles and in some cases, the hair, damaged in steaming. Are you willing to risk losing the brush to maybe achieve your goal?

If you steam a knot out you will most likely damage it (remember that steam is actually hotter than boiling water). I wouldn't risk it.

K thanks guys
i wouldn't try that; i think you will ruin either the knot or the handle. i think you would be money ahead to just sell the brush and get a new one that has the dimensions you are after.
Wouldn't you have to drop the knot significantly to affect splay at all?

I think 5mm would be perfect ya. O well.
Have you tried putting a rubber band around the base?

I thought of so if that but I really don't want to risk damaging it. It'll probably be up on the BST soon because I am quite picky despite it being a great brush.
My chubby has spoiled me.
