glue for bottles? - 11/21/2007 6:11:45 AM    diggittall   Posts: 4 Joined: 11/17/2007 Status: offline Hi all. I'm a newbie at bottles and have learned a lot from your posts. I stumbled across a post 1900 bottles/dump recently while checking out a new place to find stuff with a metal detector. Some of the bottles were on the surface - some whole, others broken. In one spot the broken bottles look to have broken right there -- all/most pieces I collected. A couple were just broken in half (see pic). Question -- what kind of glue/adhsive do you all recommend for gluing bottles back together? Thanks in advance for your input. Diggittall Attachment (1) Post #: 1

I have bottles that I glued together 20 years ago that are still together. And if you want to take them apart just soak in hot water and they come apart. _____________________________ Looking for Frederick Maryland and Dr Fahrney Bottles 2008 Medicine Bottle Price Guide on CDROM http://www.mattsoldhouse.com/MC/bottles/BottleBook2008.htm email http://www.mattsoldhouse.com/MC/bottles/email.jpg (in reply to diggittall) Post #: 4
