The production model for boro.

Here it is:


You can make stoppers from a little over 1/8 inch up to 1/2 inch that are practically airtight. No more stoppers falling out of your vessels! No more customers saying that their expensive perfume evaporated!

Finally in production!

Well, it's been a long time coming! The earliest photo I have of the stopper tool is from December of 2003, although I had been using it for perfumes for some time before that.



So I can truly say, "years in development."

In July of last year I finished the final prototype and began searching for someone to make the production model. After lots of trials and tribulations I can finally say that it is ready for the market. The testers gave me good feedback and I feel confident that it will make a difficult job not only possible but with practice it will be easy!
I'm still working on the additional tools that will make it work for soft glass, but that is coming in the very near future.
