I have a cade/locc/plisson brush. The handle started peeling so I opted for new one from WD (24mm). I have removed the knot w/o issue. It is a 24mm knot (actually the ring part measured a bit over 23mm but the lip on the ring is 27mm or so).
The biggest problem with this brush is that the loft is too high and other user's always complained about the "floppiness". I personally did not care as I thought the brush was ok but I see their point and would like to "fix" it here. But anyways, since I am attempting this I would like to know what it will take the remove the knot ring w/o damaging the brush itself? Some pics follow:
The knot is glued in pretty good. I could try a dremel while being very careful. If I do get the knot out successfully I will probably have to buy another handle since the hair itself is less than 24mm, probably 22mm. The depth of the metal ring is about 13-14mm but if I do get it off I could then get a 20mm drilled down handle and reset the loft that way.
There are a couple methods I see
1) mechanical - dremel, xacto tools, etc
2) steam it out
Anyone done this and can provide guidance?
