Is this repairable??? - 1/5/2006 12:56:16 PM    NORG   Posts: 310 Joined: 5/4/2005 From: Newfoundland, Canada Status: offline I have a salad oil that I would like to repair. It is missing about 3-4 inches of its neck. I have a neck from a different bottle of the same kind. Any help is greatly appreciated. Attachment (1) Post #: 1

Bearswede is one of the bottle repair "Jedi's" maybe he can help you. To me, it looks like it would be a tough repair because the break is in the spiral section of the bottle... if it was broken near the ring, it may have been a bit easier to cut and match... but again, I'm a far cry from being any kind of expert at repairs I'm really good at breaking things though!!!

Rub a little charcol on it first for ageing. Use EL CHEAPO fingernail polish, not the 5.00 a bottle crap. _____________________________ Warren Diggin down in Dixie, USA Work is for people who don't dig bottles President, Panhandle Cruisers http://www.panhandlecruisers.org/ (in reply to NORG) Post #: 10
