    Interesting. I use epoxy to set my knots, but I use wheat paste to mount my Sumi paintings. Here is an example.

    If you're looking to re-knot an old brush, how do you get the old knot out without damaging the handle?

    Stumbled on this thread after seeing a Buffalo brand brush that said "set in rubber" on it. Great explanation and history from the OP and some excellent photos of old brushes guys. Thanks.
