Need Help With a tumbling problem. - 5/11/2005 4:33:34 PM    grdigger35   Posts: 161 Joined: 2/23/2004 From: Northern Michigan Status: offline Can anyone tell me if an old blob top soda bottle with the top being epoxied on, can be tumbled successfully? I'd hate to try it without some advice. Thank you in advance for any info. _____________________________ Dale Stannard Post #: 1

I only know that it was epoxied. Do you think that because not all of the epoxy on a repair like this is exposed, that it may survive? _____________________________ Dale Stannard (in reply to grdigger35) Post #: 3

But if it does not make it, you could always redo the top with a good epoxy. you could also soak the bottle in aceton. and it will disolve the epoxy. and then you can clean it up and re-epoxy it with some good dental glue or hxtal. you could email this guy he knows his reapir of glass pnulton@echoes.net rick (in reply to grdigger35) Post #: 4

I'm almost sure I'm going to try it. I will try to see if I can remove it first. Thanks again. _____________________________ Dale Stannard (in reply to grdigger35) Post #: 6
