<p>Your right, it was... like a jigsaw puzzle. I almost gave up three or four times, and had to walk away. I finally developed a technique, and I'm glad I didn't give up. I'm really happy with the results. (The cap isn't very pretty from the inside, but the outside is what matters.)</p>

<p>Further to my inquiry for 2 or 3 plastic screw-on caps...</p>

<p>I managed to reconstruct the black plastic cap that shattered when trying to remove from an old 52 oz Lava Lite jar. (It seems to have been glued on.) The cap shattered into about 15 pieces. I decided to pull the pieces out of the trash and try using JB Weld's Kwik set epoxy to repair. I let each piece cure before gluing the next.

<p>I managed to reconstruct the black plastic cap that shattered when trying to remove from an old 52 oz Lava Lite jar. (It seems to have been glued on.) The cap shattered into about 15 pieces. I decided to pull the pieces out of the trash and try using JB Weld's Kwik set epoxy to repair. I let each piece cure before gluing the next. I cut up a small plastic flower pot to create 3 pieces I couldn't find. After reconstructing the cap, I coated the entire exterior with the epoxy. After curing, I sanded it smooth. The reconstructed cap is solid, screws on tight, and is a little thicker / heavier than before. Now it just needs painted. Does anyone have any broken or cracked caps they'd like to get rid of, providing the interior threads are available? (The threads would probably be difficult to reconstruct from the inside.)</p>

<p>I found soaking the pieces in acetone for three or four minutes quickly removed the original gold paint and allowed the epoxy to bond much better.</p> I'm looking for 2 or 3 black…tag:oozinggoo.ning.com,2014-05-31:1566398:Comment:5322712014-05-31T07:01:37.369ZRod Ashcrafthttps://oozinggoo.ning.com/profile/RodAshcraft
