At least at first. I was wondering what the basics would be to get started. Any recommended books, videos and such would be greatly appreciated. Thanx, Swiz  Post #: 1

A two part resin/hardener It sure works excellent for my cabs, and plan on giving it a whirl next time I purchase a snuff bottle with cracks. I would like ask you all if there is a product some of you have tried for repairing larger chips/chunk broken areas. For around the neck and or mouth area of a bottle. Something that I am guessing would hae to be thick enough so as to be able and be blobbed on over the broken area so that it would not simply run down the bottle ?? Just thinking out loud, but maybe once the larger chunk (if possible) is filled, that the excess might be able to be ground down using some of my silicon carbide belts, then perhaps followed by polishing with some cerium oxide polish ?? _____________________________ Facebook The Snuff Bottle Forum My Bottle Journal George (in reply to swizzle) Post #: 5
