highlighting? - 9/19/2005 12:00:15 PM    Hoosier49er   Posts: 65 Joined: 8/2/2005 Status: offline I am fairly new to bottle and jar collecting. I've noticed on some web sites that the embossing on some bottles appears to be highlighted. I was wondering what would be the best way to do this without destroying the value of the bottle or jar being highlighted. Thanks in advance for any suggestions. Joe Post #: 1

But , I use regular Latex Enamel interior house paint ( White ) . I thin it a little with water so it goes on easier. It washes off easily with a little warm water and an old tooth brush . If your embossing is scratched ..... it may be hard to impossible to wash the paint out of the scratching in the embossing. So check the embossing out carefully before painting.

I have never seen them before . I'll have to get me some of those and try them out. Brian _____________________________ Tennessee Hillbilly Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most !
