    I had a Chubby 2 synthetic brush that was an o.k. brush but figured could be a better brush (my opinion). Yesterday I took the knot out and relofted it with a higher loft. I'm very pleased with it's performance.

    The blue line indicates the original loft. It was raised about 5mm.

    Did you have to destroy the original CH2 handle to get the knot out intact ?

    As asked on another forum as well; any pictures of the knot itself that you could share?

    The handle looks great, by the way!

    I should have taken pics but got lost in the moment. So no pics, sorry and thanks.

    How does it feel now with the higher loft? Is it less dense and not as much of a soap hog?

    @Rhody - I like it much better, you could have even gone a higher but the old glue line would have shown.

    @oscar11
    Great point about the glue line. I would have never thought about that. There again I have only made one brush.
