I use Devcon 5 min two-part epoxy on all my brushes. Never had any problem, I believe this is the best product choice for gluing a knot in a handle.
Thanks, guys! This is really helpful stuff.
I had some epoxies lying around the house--Super Glue, Gorilla Glue, maybe a few other glues--but really wasn't sure if any of them would do the trick.
It sounds like even if they WOULD do the trick, Devcon would do it better.
Watch out for Gorilla Glue...it expands when it dries. Someone here recently had a handle crack badly after filling it with GG.
That's regular Gorilla Glue, it a polyurethane glue, Gorilla Glue brand epoxy is a standard epoxy in a 2 part syringe..
I like it, the 2 parts have a similar viscosity, many epoxies the hardener is thicker then the resin and it difficult to get equal amount with the syringe.
I just checked out some of your work in the Vendor forum, Rudy, and am really impressed. How long have you been making brushes?
And, if you don't mind my asking, what resources did you consult when getting started?
