Hi,

Stand-alone letters or on stamps. If on stamps, then not reversed.
(would produce a reversed image if you inked it...) They need to be at
least 1/32" thick (if on a smamp then raised that high), but
prefereably 1/16" thick.
Anyone...

glue to repair clay wine cooler (wine brique) by
Pat Kight
L Mehl wrote:
Hello --
I have a porous clay pot which is used to keep a bottle of wine cool, once
the pot is soaked in water for a while. It looks like the same material as
the Romertopf clay pot cooker.
Sounds like terra cotta.
It needs gluing back together.

A instructions sheet on how to make a bow. I have wired ribbon and need a
bow about 14" diam for the butt of my lighted moose for my front yard.

How to clean silk flowers? by
David D.
Silk flower arrangements become tired-looking after a while, mostly because
it is difficult to get all of the dust out of them.
Any suggestions on restoring such arrangements, and dusting them in general?
Blowing on them, or feather dusting, only gets the surface dust. They are
far too delicate...

alcohol ink by
ath
I'd like to make alcohol ink as it's so expensive to buy. All the DIY "recipes"
I've seen require the use of 'rubbing alcohol'.... would that be surgical spirit
in the UK?
I've tried using surgical spirit but it doesn't seem to dissolve the dye
properly. Ideas anyone?
