I tried matching color on bottle once by taking alot of colbalt glass and smashing it till it was nothing, put it in the clear epoxy and it came out clear. but if you melt it down then it may work. If you know a glass blower (art glass maker) then he may be able to help. there is a bottle mold for sale here is the link number and item number is 584   http://www.rtam.com/glassworks_catalog/cgi-bin/catalog.cgi < Message edited by Bottle tumbler -- 2/17/2007 8:15:43 AM > (in reply to DiggerBryan) Post #: 6
