T.W. Dyott Lip Repair - 12/30/2011 4:44:45 PM

Status: offline 		I just finished the rebuilding of the missing section of the lip on the little Dyott pontiled medicine I dug a few weeks ago. It came out pretty well. Now I will give it about two weeks to totally cure then use a matting agent to match the surface patina of the rest of the bottle. This one was a bit of a challenge to replicate the downwardly folded flared lip. But came out really well.

Hello Chris,

Truly enviable transformation, sir! How long have you been doing this type of bottle restoration?

I can only imagine the disasters I'd be having, were I to attempt something like this...
