Sorry Yaqi brush, didn't mean to knock you off the ledge... that's a pisser, I really like this brush

Looks like it turned out ok!

Barely noticable. Great job!

I wish, realized that this might look like I was able to put humpty dumpty back together again... oh definitely not.
The first pic is the big chunk that broke off, the second one is a cracked section on the other side of the handle that I'm hoping doesn't also come out. I haven't attempted any surgery yet.

That knot would look good in a new handle. Just sayin'.

I'd be caught trying to repair it. Use a good waterproof adhesive using "just enough" to secure the pieces, taking care to remove any excess before it gets set.

So did you repair it or salvage the knot? It would be a great knot for a restoration; PM me if you have any questions.

Nothing yet, I'm sure I'll eventually get around to doing something with it but its not high on the priority list. Although I did just trade away my only other synthetic brush, which is kindof a bummer... I'm trying not to buy any other gear right now but fortunately I have other brushes to hold me over

I figure it might, you know anyone? ;-)
