Saturday night home alone. What to do? This brush, that didn't get used much Met Plisson And this brush was created
Looks great. I like the cream handle with the Plisson knot. Did you run into any obstacles putting the knot into the new handle? In RV's thread over in another forum there is an issue discussed with the Plisson knot being odd or something IIRC.
Maybe the issue was if you try to take it out of the metal sleeve. Not sure what the reference was to. It is stuck in the handle with something elastic, maybe silicone adhesive. Once I cut and broke the handle in half I used a knife to cut it all off of the sleeve. I had more trouble removing the boar knot I installed in the RV handle using epoxy.
That's what it was - the metal sleeve. I guess some people removed it and it pretty much destroyed their knot.
Very nice work. I did something similar and transplanted my Plisson knot into the Lord Randal malachite handle (Vie-Long). It used to be horse hair, but the knot got tangled up and I steamed it out. So far so good, I really like the new handle.
