Pitcher in Glass
Hi all,
Long time no see. I'd like to ask you guys who know the way to preserve the nice pitcher in the glass? Such thing sold in internet but only limited to N. Mcfarlanei. It will be nicer if we can choose our own pitcher and make it at home. Ding

Re: Pitcher in Glass
I know what you mean. I was thinking of trying with epoxy gum since I do not know where to get acrylic and don't know how to do it. Just haven't gotten down to doing it. But epoxy gum is expensive.

Re: Pitcher in Glass
You may refer to it at Ebay link below. The seller refuse to make some for me claiming that he only make it in bulk. I don't think he will make this kind of collectible more in the future. It will be nicer if he can diversify the pitcher types. I believe his sales will be improved significantly.

Re: Pitcher in Glass
If you are up to it, maybe you can make your own.
Try to look for a supplier of "clear casting Resin" if you can find this stuff, you can make your own by putting the pitcher in a container that can be easily destroyed (plastic cup for example) pour the resin, wait for it to harden, then you have your nice decoration. If I am able to find this resin at my side I will try to make this. My only problem is to cut off a perfectly beatiful pitcher to be preserved  Also if the pitcher is too big then you need a big mold/container and a lot of resin. Would be nice to have a Truncata in that though.Last thing it is important for you to make sure there are no bubbles, if there is bubbles when the resin hardens it doesn't look nice. TTFN Arvin

Re: Pitcher in Glass
Arvin,
Do we need to treat the pitchers in any way before pouring the resin over it? We just take a freshly cut pitcher and pour the resin over it? Thanks.
