Just picked up a knot and a handle from the exchange... I'm pretty excited and prepping up and reading about brush restoration...
Some questions I have ...
as far as masking the handle and the knot - what's the best way? I was thinking of wrapping the knot up with wax paper and securing the wax paper roll with rubber bands and just using regular painters masking tape on the handle... I'm open to other suggestions...
now the handle I'm thinking of using is a lucite handle - how hard is it to work/ or sand open to the opening for the knot? I was thinking of just using sand paper, some wood rods and lots of elbow grease or is this something I should bust out the dremel for?
thanks in advance and I look forward to reading all your tips and advice ...
