hang10tiki you sure know how to find the right image for my activities. I'm always repairing things for Dan. See below.

LoriLovesTiki Dan feels that the tikis are his babies and I'm their doctor. See Below.

Dan bought a reduced price Tiki Roots Rocka mug. It had an air bubble blow off part of its base. I built a new one but I wasn't able to match the paint perfectly. Close enough for Dan. Now the mug was stable on the shelf for display.

You can save mugs for display with Elmer's wood putty. Build it up and let it dry, sand it. Repeat. Let it dry overnight.

The next day you can carve the detail into the hard putty.

Mixed the paint as close as I could to the glaze

and covered the putty and let it dry.

============================================================
The next mug had a large chunk broken out of the top.
Same procedure. The paint matched better this time.

========================================================
Dan's last request was for a bucket mug that he'd never seen before. The face has lots of chips.
Same procedure.

I wiped off some paint with a paper towel.

========================================================

If you repair something feel free to post it here on my thread.

========================================================

I got a lot done today. I'll share more tomorrow. Cheers, Wendy
