RE: Scratch filler - 7/31/2006 10:22:52 PM    Bottle tumbler   Posts: 370 Joined: 4/5/2004 From: Noxen pa Status: offline i do both, i have had some bad luck with tumbling it and some good, but i would rather hand polish it. looks great. here is a chip before, what you see is a wet sliputty around the chip. i have allready made a mold for this by using the other side of the lip, then i place it over the spot to be fixed and the wet silputty makes it stick and creates a seal so it wont leak out, i will post another pic of how it looks now, hand polished Attachment (1) (in reply to capsoda) Post #: 4
