Thank you very much; this exactly what I need to know.There are two ways to do this. The Dremel process is used more for those delicate handles that would be damaged with heat, or for guys that simply like to use power tools and can handle one well:
...Today I'll steam it again, but if that doesn't work...?
Question: did you not investigate this on the Internet prior to attempting it?
Well, perhaps they have used some sort of NASA technology epoxy. Get read to drill.
...Not to be deterred I put the steamer on for a further 10 minutes and voila, out pops the knot all in one piece too...
I am struggling to remove the residue of the epoxy from the knot hole. It's far tougher than I thought it would be. I've been picking away at it with a myriad of pointy things, but I've made zero real progress. I remain reluctant to use a Dremel or drill due to my lack of manual dexterity in doing such things, but unless I can come up with a more effective method than what I'm doing now I'm afraid that I'll have no option.What are you doing with the knot
I had thought about the sand paper and dowel method, but after my experience with picking away at the residue with sharp and pointy implements I thought the residue might be too hard. Nevertheless, as with my initial attempts to remove the knot with steam which failed, I shall persevere before resorting to a dremel or drill. What I have learned so far is that if I'm to undertake further re-knots I'll have to develop some skill and confidence with a Dremel.You can either use sand paper and wrap in around a dowel, a bit slow but it should get there.
Or a dremel Im afraid, just take it really slow and follow around the hole of the brush.
