well i had just finished shaving tonight and was giving my brush a shake to put it up to dry and the silvertip badger knot came loose and came out of the handle. had this brush for about 3 weeks now bought off the bay new (reputable seller but was the least expensive brush they had for sale), i am not at all surprised it came out as the handle itself is low quality leading me to believe this would happen at some point. my question is this, what are my options for getting this knot back in and sealed where i will not have to worry about it again? i need to be able to find the epoxy/glue/whatever works locally. have a few walmarts, a lowes, home depot and a bit farther out of town marine repair shops (however a lot of them are not open for the season yet).
what would be suggested? i have read that a lot of people use marine epoxy to get this job done and i searched the web to see if walmart and lowes had any. lowes carries a brand of marine epoxy but it is out of stock in my town and well if you search epoxy on walmart's web site you do not get results you would expect to find. was wondering if super glue or something like JBweld would work as an alternative?(rather something that was slightly easier to use than JBweld though)
thanks for the input and taking the time to read this
