gorillia glue has to be used on wood that is slighty damp . If you drilled out one side I would drill out the other and go with a larger dowel and would use TITE BOND wood glue or one of the ELMERS brand wood glue. You want the dowel to fit snug so when the glue is applied it will swell the plug slighty and make a real tight bond. Any help?

rules I am still here lurking but decided to not get into the stoage auctions . I went to several in the memphis area and thought about it alot as I am retired and have the time and enough money to play, but realized that if I bought one what would I do with it ? I have very poor people skills and always hated the retail trade( father was a merchant) so I just lurk and listen. I don't know for sure what you are talking about but the only way I know to keep the label good would be to stand the bottle in a 5 gal. bucket of warm water for a day or so until the label falls off on its own then very gently lay on wax paper with another layer on top to keep it flat and lay a weight on it until it is completly  dry . While this is  happening the bottle is slumped in a kiln , after the label is dry and flat just use a childs glue stick to reapply. Does this help? The glass needs to be slumped in a kiln where to temp. can be controlled so it just doesn't become a puddle . I am in the process of learning to work with warm glass ie. slumping,  fusing, melting. that was the reason for my question in first post. I have found that the glass used in glass fusing is about 5 times as expensive as regular art glass used in stained glass which can't be used in fusing, any help?

Does anyone ever find glass or ceramic kilns or stained glass in a locker? I am starting to look into this and wondered if anyone had found any and had trouble moving it or just went to dump or had any for sale. I am looking for anything having to do with glass fusing.

In reguard to the USPS , try pricing the postage AND day in and day out reliabilty of any other postal service in the world. I'm not saying their 100% but they do better on average than anyone else.

Hi, just wanted to introduce myself . My wife and I used to go to auctions a long time ago when we were younger and now that I am retired ( 42 years on the railroad, BNSF but started on the FRISCO) with time to do what I want and a need to get out of the house I thought that I would investigate storage auctions. I'm sorry to say it is because of the shows. Years ago I helped someone move his stuff from a storage locker and the guy who owed the truck said that he often went to stor. auctions but I never had the time then , I do now. MY wife says that I need to haul more stuff away from my shop not bring in more. HEY maybe I will meet MR. ANDERSEN. I live in Horn Lake ,Ms. just outside Memphis,Tn.

it looks like a case to hold metal stamping dies, if there were more holes I would say the alphabet but I guess some other kind of stamps. Does one side lock down on the other?
