My Brexit Reknot Brush

[Acer89]

These Limited Edition Wilkinson Sword brushes are approx £4 from all major supermarkets

I drilled out the thin and floppy knot, opened up the socket, glued a few coins in the base to give some heft and set a silvertip

It'll be known as my Brexit brush.... that's if we ever do!

Thanks Wayne. The brushes are limited edition. Got mine from Superdrug but I've also seen them in Tesco's.
Moulded plastic so a few coins glued in the base with epoxy helps give it some weight.

SSShhhhhhh Don’t mention the ‘B’ word. Good job on the re-knot though.

Does it still say 'Made in Germany' on the base?

Not now it doesn't. I buffed out the base. It could be made in Oompa-Loompa Land for all care. It'll still be known as my Brexit brush

Original base

A few seconds with the buffing wheel

James! May I ask where you sourced the knot from? Is it a TGN? Thank you!

The knot is 22mm Virginia Sheng Silvertip. HERE Others VS knots are available in her ebay shop HERE

I think the original was a 20mm but I widened the socket to accommodate a 22mm. Very easy to do as the handle is made from moulded plastic.

TGN supply very fine knots which I highly recommend but they do have a flat $12 international postage fee. Maggards knots are also pretty good but I've only used 26mm and above so can't comment on smaller knots. Economy shipping to the UK is $5

My No1 choice would be TGN knots but that's just my personal preference.

Hope that helps

James
