Or Got Rum? Thank you. I enjoy sharing. More steps on the mug repair for Michael P. Once dry the wood putty can be sanded and carved. Also if once this is done and there's a spot needing more it's easily done. Then a black base coat is applied. Next will come the hard part of matching acrylic paint to the glaze color of the mug. |

Now it was time to paint the repaired area. I tried a bunch of colors trying to match the glaze. I checked the color by brushing some on a glazed area. It's as good as I can do. Over a few days I did layers of paint. Then I outlined it with brown and then sprayed it with fix. From here to there. The mug is done and has already reached its last destination, Hawaii! |

No one told me there was a staff and head in the box with the tiki I was to repair. The box was so full of tiny pieces of Styrofoam that were flying around and sticking to everything I carefully removed the tiki mug and tossed the rest in the garbage can. When the mug reached its new home in Hawaii I was asked if I'd seen the swizzle. OH OH, but since we left on a vacation before garbage pickup day, I knew it was back at home. Upon return I retrieved it and boxed it and we shipped it. The two pieces are now reunited and safely together. Before and after. |

Or Got Rum? Thank you, he was happy. He sent me these photos of him at La Mariana with the mug. He does know that the repair is fragile like a painting so he's not putting a drink into the mug and then needing to wash it. This mug is for display only. |

Or Got Rum? Thank you. I have four more sculpts to send off to Frankoma as soon as he sets a date with the mold maker. I'm having so much fun being back into sculpting. I wish I could share the steps but that will happen once he's in production. Cheers, Wendy |

I really like the Mac N Cheese version, but haven't pulled the trigger yet. Looking forward to seeing your new sculpts. |

Hi Hamo, it's always fun to hear from you. I have finished 4 new scupts for Dennis. When he returns to the factory I'll be shipping them to him. My bet is it will be 2025 before they are ready to sell. I'm having fun playing with clay again. Cheers, Wendy |

hang10tiki we are still having lots of tiki fun.Michael in Hawaii with his repaired (by me) mug. It's a number one and well worth saving. Even though I said No Charge for the work he said he was sending Dan and I a surprise box of Hawaiian goodies. Can't say no to that. Wow! just the postage was $18. I whipped up delicious pancakes for us using the gifts. I decorated the house with the air plant in the shell gift. We enjoyed Honolulu cookies for the first time. Thank you, Michael, he's a facebook tiki buddy. [ Edited by danlovestikis on 2024-05-10 08:12:46 ] |

Start to finish. Elmer's wood putty is my go to filler. Wet the area, fill, let dry, fill again. Let it dry and then sand. Mix paints to match. Paint and then say come and get it Debbie Smith your mug is ready to pick up. |

Or Got Rum? It was so worth it for such a hard to find mug. Back in the day I gave up looking and made my own version. ernimator so sad to miss you at tiki events this year. No kiss! Dan didn't have to worry a bit. Thank you both for the fun comments on the repair. Another broken item comes here on Wednesday. There are so many horrible shippers. Cheers, Wendy |
