Skew's the man when it comes to goblets. I'm sure he'll respond, if not I'm sure he won't mind a PM.

If the goblet is going to be a user, I like to use Rustin's Plastic Finish. Which is basically a high end epoxy.

I know people who use a PolyU, but I've had no real success with that, finding that after a time it starts lifting & peeling around the rim.

Hi and thanks for the return. I suppose you are talking about this,
http://www.axminster.co.uk/product.a...file=1&jump=44 ,It comes with a hardener, Is this the right one? I'm in the U.S. and can't seem to order it. Do you have any idea where i can get this or something like it?

Thanks again,
Jim

That's the stuff.

A little bit goes a long way... it's almost as liquid as water, so I simply mix about a teaspoonful in the goblet bowl and "swish it around" to get the coverage.

Thanks but i don't think they ship to the U.S. So, what is the next best product. How about the epoxy finish, is this bought by different can size and brushed on? Thanks for all your help and have a good one.

Hmmm... I imagine any casting resin would do the job but without doing testing it's hard to say.

It may work, or it may start to lift over time like PolyU. And PolyU is far cheaper...

I wasnt sure which set of curves to look at in the second picture.....

Nice goblet
