Very professional! I'm impressed! What kind of glue did you use for the cobalt Yonkers bottle?

Sometimes I can’t find the repair myself. Cracks are the worst.

The powder on the rubber bands keeps curing epoxy from sticking and keeps a constant pressure on the repair. It’s more a method I utilized when I used to use industrial strength epoxy. Depending on the way it was mixed and the heat it sometimes expanded instead of contracting. It’s a weird material epoxy. I’ve been using it my whole life.

That’s cobalt medicine is NY Digger Steve’s bottle. I’ve done a couple repairs for him. It had a bit of damage. He wanted it to just look good from the front in a window. Cobalt wasn’t as hard to blend as I thought.
