| I have collected the bottles and the rebar to display my collection. We have an old stump that is a few inches about the ground that we are going to drill random holes in, then put different lengths of slightly curved rebar in the holes and top with the blue bottles. My question is how do I protect the bottles from the top of the rebar? Same question for if I make a glass totem and set it on top of a metal rod/pipe. Any ideas? |

| I have seen a product that coats the handles of metal tools to give you a better grip. Seems to me that would work well. |

| That stuff works great. We use it on our tool handles. Once it's open , it seems to dry up really fast. Gather up alot of things to coat all at the same time. |

| he re bar will not hurt your bottle. I have used thinner to thin down the plastic coating when it gets a little dry. |

| I dropped a bottle a little hard over a piece of rebar and had broken glass all over. I use a dab of adhesive putty now on the end of the rebar before I put a bottle on it. (The same stuff you use to stick pictures, etc to the wall or woodwork--you get it in just about any store in the stationery dept). It works fine, and lasts a long time since the bottle protects it and it never gets wet. Modeling clay or something like it would work too. Sandy |
