Decided not to cook them because we got invited to have some veal picatta. I think I will cook them this weekend. I better get them cooked because we are going hunting again the 21st.
I was wondering the same thing. We were adding about half a page every few minutes and then WHAM! like we hit a wall we couldn't go through.
Apparenlty these people don't realize that they shouldn't be doing other things when you and I are on, right Doug? Fuzzy, make sure these guys and gals go on report.
I am still here. Just had to go do something real fast. ninja edit: First tabac shave is coming up tommorow. so woohoo me!
Yup, I used 2 part marine epoxy for mine. So um... Bong, is their adhesive or other special properties to your water?
Basically. Keep in mind that a new knot is already set in epoxy. You are just adding epoxy to set the knot's epoxy into the hole. Put enough to seat and seal. If you use too much epoxy, it will come squirting out. In that case, carefully wipe off and try to keep out of the badger hair.
I see the threat of going on report has brought them back out. Justin nice pic in the valentine thread. I think I am going to go snap a photo with my gear in front of the in laws 67 GTO. Just gotta think of how I am going to set it up.
If it were me, I'd wrap the actual hairs with saran wrap, then masking tape, then cove the handle with masking tape, then just set it in there.
Ok I can do that. How about knot size. Does the handle dictate the know size or do you just shave a little here and there off the knot to make it fit?
Thanks.... It took quite a while to get Wile to hold the Bay Rhum in a drunken pose while holding the feather wrapper. He kept stumbling over....
Bong probably has a good idea. I would certainly try the saran wrap around the hairs to protect them. BTW: the brush in the picture is one that I put a Goldennib in. To determine the size, I first removed the old knot and cleaned up the hole. I took a caliper to measure what the diameter was and then ordered the closest thing to that diameter. The only real problem I ran into was that the brush I was working on was hollow. I was cleaning out where the old knot was still epoxied and went straight through to the bottom! A pair of corks are filling in the void under the knot now. The corks were also epoxied in. Since my experiment, it was posted that you could mix epoxy with sawdust to fill in those void areas as well.
Interesting. I need to go back and check out the antique shops for some handles and then try this. I was going to have Rodd do one for me but I think I might like to try my hand at this.
