New Knot for Jayaruh #40


I decided to change out the pure badger knot with a new Ubersoft 2 synthetic knot. I easily pulled the knot since it was set with silicone. I cleaned up the hole and had to make it a bit wider to accommodate the 24mm synthetic. I sealed the bare wood and set it aside to dry. Next, I set the new knot with GE clear silicone.

Old knot pulled and cleaned.

New Ubersoft 2 knot.

Update: February 8

I decided to change out the pure badger knot with a new Ubersoft 2 synthetic knot. I easily pulled the knot since it was set with silicone. I cleaned up the hole and had to make it a bit wider to accommodate the 24mm synthetic. I sealed the bare wood and set it aside to dry. Next, I set the new knot with GE clear silicone.
