temporary display repair for heel chip?

[KungFu]

I'm looking to fashion a temporary (removeable) repair to heel chip on soda bottle. I just want the bottle to stand stable so I don't get a domino effect with my bottle display. Don't care so much if it shows though would prefer transparent or translucent. Any ideas?

Try E6000 adhesive or super glue like Loctite. If your soda bottle is clear it won't be very noticeable. On other colors it may show up.

Is super glue removable? I was thinking more along the lines of inverse molding a silicone boot, or something. Modeling clay, perhaps. The bottle is a very light green tint.

Here's a pic. It's currently sitting on thin plexi glass pieces.

Hot glue. It can be peeled off with no problems.

That's true, almost forgot about hot glue. It comes off anything besides fabric.

I heard a story about a guy that used to hot glue his bottles to the shelves so they never walk off. Never caused a problem or damaged the bottle. Cheap earthquake insurance, that is if the whole shelf doesn't collapse.

Thanks guys. I came up with a similar solution to hot glue - paraffin wax. I used it again to keep my bottles from walking off on my glass shelves. In the latter case I heat the block of wax with heat gun until a film of melted wax is created, swipe the the bottle across it and stick it on the shelf (literally). I positioned one improperly, no problem, give it a twist to break the seal, rub / break the wax off, do it again.

It's the one in the middle with the heel chip. Still leaning to the left a bit, but I need that face displayed, so turning the bottle is out. The 'wanderers' were the bottles in the top left corner - the HVAC system is behind this wall.

Some reaction to the display case pic, see my new thread here: My years long search for a bottle display solution come to fruition at last.
