    Very nice looking handle and the knot is "sitting" deep enough.

    The super glue isn't appropriate for re-knoting work,won't last
    Sometimes when the base of the knot is a little bit higher than the gap that my handle has then i use a rasp
    Few mm away and the knot finds his nest,that's a "saver" when there is not enough space to work in the handle.

    I wonder why the super glue wont work? I mean, on the package it's supposed to glue the same materials as the epoxy I got.

    Not a biggie, the epoxy only sat me back $3 but I was just wondering.

    Thanks for the kind words!

    Super glue works best on smooth flat surfaces

    Alright, so do I need a mm smaller knot?

    The knot fell out of my favorite Frank Shaving brush, and I repaired it with Gorilla super glue. I was pleased with the results. If it ever falls out again, I will go the epoxy route.

    I guess many adhesives these days are generically referred to as "super glue".
    But to the best of my recollection, the original stuff was cyanoacrylate.
    It works best when applied to rather smooth surfaces in a very thin coat, and the pieces then joined
    quickly, before the moisture in the air (actually the hydrogen molecules) begins to cause the glue to develop a "skin" which hinders the bond.

    If you are so inclined, you might find this interesting:
