The tecniques may be about the same but the materials may have been improved greatly. Use it for reference but look for better resins, dyes etc.. _____________________________ My 10¢ worth (inflation) Eric If you love what your doing it might be illegal, so watch your back.

Watchmakers use the perfect epoxy for glass repair, you can even tumble the stuff if done right. Its called Epoxy 330 and comes in fast set and slow set. Its used for repairing watch crystals. _____________________________ 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 bearswede) Post #: 3
