That is a cool brush. Is that the 8-ball shape? (The green fleck one).

8 ball was more of a color scheme than a shape, though that brush has taken a life of it's own and the shape know for the 8 ball is this one.

Hi Nathan,

I had a minor catastrophe this morning - my DFS LE brush fell out of the cupboard about 6' to a tile floor and the knot broke out of the handle.  Darn!  I was just thinking that it wasn't a good place for brushes and pow.  I was thinking of getting some marine grade epoxy and gluon the knot back in - do yo have any thoughts, tips, advice?  Is there a particular brand of epoxy I should look for?  Do you think I should dremmel the broken stuff out of the handle and off the knot or just glue it back in the way it came out?  I'm pretty bummed about this.

Thanks,

Wow, Mark, what a bummer. I hope it can be repaired.

Looks like you will be able to put the knot in and rotate it and find the original orientation of the glued knot. It should almost lock into place when it's in it's original position. Make sure there aren't multiple positions that it want's to lock into. Make a note of where that position lines up with the brush so you can repeat it when there is glue in there. If you can't find the original position, You'll have to make due by adding a bit extra glue and making sure everything is straight, or send it back to me to repair.

Sand the bottom of the knot. If you can rough up the bottom of hole with a knife or dremel, that's be great too. No need on trying to remove the old glue, just rough it up. Use 2 part epoxy and place it only on the bottom of the hole. Don't put down a lot of glue, a dime sized amount is enough, spread it around evenly. remove any excess. Too much glue will do more harm than good here. When you put the knot back in place you want to push down on the knot rotate until you feel lock into that original position.

Looks like it was a good fall. The knot plug broke in half as well as the adhesive used to assemble the whole thing. That's impressive!

Did it break a tile?

Thankfully it didn't land on your foot!
