Artesian Spring 'Toga - 7/31/2006 4:23:53 PM    bearswede Posts: 3191 Joined: 9/28/2004 From: western mass Status: offline Well, my latest arrived today... I knew it had an open bubble, but was surprised by the vast depth of it... It must be a third of an inch wide and it's volume angles down inside the bottle... I'm amazed it didn't go all the way thru... Otherwise, the bottle is a beaut... I'm thinking I'll fill it with plain, clear resin, just so no one cuts themselves on the sharp edges... But I figure it doesn't need, probably shouldn't have, any tint added or it would look too dark... Any thoughts? Thanks, Ron Attachment (1) < Message edited by bearswede -- 7/31/2006 4:25:54 PM > _____________________________ "I LOVE Wolfies!!!!!!!!!!!!" Post #: 1

It appears as a lite oval just under the intertwined "AS"... Attachment (1) _____________________________ "I LOVE Wolfies!!!!!!!!!!!!" (in reply to bearswede) Post #: 2

Don't have any suggestions on the repair, because I don't know anything about it!  But if you're ever in VA stop by and I have several bottles that I could put you to work on fixing up for me!    Cindy (in reply to bearswede) Post #: 4
