RE: rerpaired lip - 3/7/2005 12:32:37 PM    Bottle tumbler   Posts: 370 Joined: 4/5/2004 From: Noxen pa Status: offline I use 2 things. one is called silputty, you mix the 2 ingredients and make a mold or dam to hold the hxtal inplace till it dries and then sand and buff or apply a thin layer of hxtal again. hxtal comes in 2 bottles mixed 1 to 3 and hardens like glass and can be sanded and polished like glass never yellows. $50 for 1 oz. sillputty is a soft plat doe kind of stuff mix and mold, dries in 10 miniutes, links. silputty link http://www.vandykes.com/product/02210638/ hxtal link http://www.hisglassworks.com/pages/hxtal.html it took me some time to get this working right. rick (in reply to Bottle tumbler) Post #: 5

I had the same product but have not used it yet cause I was not sure what to use as a dam to hold it in place. Also did not want to mess a good piece up. (in reply to Bottle tumbler) Post #: 6

RE: rerpaired lip - 3/10/2005 9:21:07 PM    Bottle tumbler   Posts: 370 Joined: 4/5/2004 From: Noxen pa Status: offline the hxtal is very thin and take days to dry hard enough to work with. the silputty is great stuff also. if you heat the hxtal for a few seconds it will harden faster, BUT you need to try it out a few times on a cheap piece. I spent 100.00 on trial and error. picture of a dam on the bottle to repair a chip, Attachment (1) (in reply to Bottle tumbler) Post #: 7

RE: rerpaired lip - 4/2/2005 10:51:25 AM    lobeycat Posts: 3801 Joined: 9/8/2003 From: RED SOX Nation Status: offline A few questions Tumbler. I heard this stuff is pretty touchy when it comes to mixing. It should be weighed correct? Could one use a couple syringes to measure out the 3to1? Could plumbers putty or window glazing be used to create the dam around the chip? I have a crap load of that around the house. Whats the repair look like under blue light? Man that stuff looks amazing, wheres my credit card? Nice post, great tip, Rich. (in reply to Bottle tumbler) Post #: 12

RE: rerpaired lip - 4/2/2005 11:40:47 AM    Bottle tumbler   Posts: 370 Joined: 4/5/2004 From: Noxen pa Status: offline it can hardly be seen under the black light. if you hold it on the light it has a slight glow. you can try any stuff you have to make a dam, but this stuff is very thin. I mix it by eye and it works fine, I also hold it over heat for a few seconds to just warm it a little then I stir it while it rest on a cold wet dish cloth. I mix mine in a big soup spoon, while stiring it on the cloth it will begin to thicken, I also make sure the piece I fixing is room temp or colder then the mix, it helps to set it up. and if it is thicker you can use your other stuff to make a dam. rick (in reply to Bottle tumbler) Post #: 13
