Here is the chip dremeled out and colored glass epoxy filled. I need to address a chip on the inside of the lip I missed and I need to sand down and make it look better. It takes about a week for this epoxy to cure to glass hard with the alcohol dyes. It looks different because the epoxy is smoother than the glass is. I realize I should tumble the bottle first then do the repair. Kind of backwards I guess. I will post the finished abomination, lol!

I though you were going to show a step by step process instead of before & after pics?
I screwed up! I took a before. Then dremeled it out (like a dentist fixing a cavity). I cleaned it up and meant to take a picture. The next thing I knew, I was smoothing out the epoxy. The next one I will add to this post. I will post all pictures. I have grabbed a couple of patients and will be performing surgery, one needs a new blobtop. One is missing a big chunk of the bottom. One has milk bottle has 10 stress cracks. Hey Hemi, I ran into a large area of conetop cans. One foot down is all old cone tops and someThey are crusty, but I thought I would show you just in Hemingway, I remember you asked.

HEY, I may be Interested in some of those Rusty Cone Tops as long as some have some Paint on them. I can see the one with paint on the side looks like a Milwaukee Club, Possibly a Schlitz. BUT, The Good News is those look like they are from a good year, pre war 11 or pre 1942, so probably from 1936-1942 which is the best time frame for beer cans. Did you take any Home??????? LEON.

No i did leave them to the side though, just in case. No one will touch my stuff. I think I saw a Rheingold? Super rusty. I will see if anything has paint that's not too full of holes. You "can" have them all. I tried to figure out the name on this one, you may know. A little text can be seen.

That's the one I said looked like a Milwaukee Club. If you find any flat tops with one big punch or one big opener hole & some paint it could be a good one. One big punch hole is usually older then 2 small punched holes. you should see if you can find more with Color, If So I could Trade Bottles. Let me know. LEON.

I don't mind looking. Not worried about how to get them in your hands. I would be happy to give them to you.

Thanks Detective Hemihampton. You figured it out with 5 or so readable words on a rusty can. My hats off to you buddy.

When I first looked at that Can/Pic I think it took me about 2 seconds to realize what it was, without even looking at my can. LEON.
