I hot glued screen to hold whatever I patch it with which leads to my questions.

1) Bondo or plaster of paris?

2) How do I match paint

3) Then what? brush? use what paint? Mix what in paint?

Crazy ideas I have...have Wally world match paint on shard..brush on

Use food coloring in plaster of paris?

The pretty dark brown one I want to look good as possible but the other it is just for display and practice.

Hey Kevin, That Lobe is a crafty guy...[sm=lol.gif] He is right about the tile grout It can be mixed to different consistancies too. On one in that many pieces I would use enamel spray paint and paint the whole thing and then apply a couple of coats of clear.

Well I tried spackle...it didn't dry thick so I had to remove it after a day and a half of waiting. You'd have to apply a dozen times or more and wait 30 min each time for it to work...waste of time...now I have to reglue the screens and this time I'm using bondo! !@@#$$%^%^!!!!!!!

YES! Thanks for asking...I did this today with a shard I saved....a jug handle and the big two tone jug needed a handle....I need a dreme tool..I got this handle piece out of the shard with a hammer and got lucky.

i FOUND CAR BODY FILLER (BONDO) to be useful since I have used it all my life and work it well. I'll fill these gaps in around the handle and paint it and you may not know I did it (W'ell see, hee hee). I bought some brown paint at Walmart that seems to be an exact match...don't ask me how I am getting so lucky..probably because the jugs are for my wife and not me haha!
