Chip-Hole repairs.

[Miles]

I have some high end bottles with some chips out of the lip, or some holes in them. I would like to fix them with some epoxy like material, but I'm totally new to it. I just need help knowing what to buy, how to get it a certain color, and how I would hold it in place.

Basically I need to know how to fix up a chip or hole, and how to hold the material in place. Also how to blend color, and what to buy.

Ah, who am I kidding? I'm lost!

Hey, Miles...


Here's a start... And if you go to the Cleaning and Repairing Forum and scroll back, you'll find quite a few references to bottle repair...

I remember that post..haha.

How would I get a desired color though, and where do I buy the stuff? Is it like handling clay?
