patching a hole - 5/20/2005 7:19:27 PM    wvbottlehead Posts: 220 Joined: 7/4/2003 From: WV Status: offline got one of those annoying corner holes. Only way I can figure is to go from the inside with a long syringe (bottle is 4" tall) with the resin, & dam it with clay on the outside.......Any other suggestions? Attachment (1) Post #: 1

I use hxtal because it can be cleaned and tumbled if needed, it hardens like glass. I can grind it and then polish it also by hand. yes you will have to make a dam around the outside also. rick (in reply to wvbottlehead) Post #: 2
