Very nice. I can yell you that on my Slice you could still see much of the grain beneath the paint. My Pepsi Perfect also had visible grain in clear plastic.

Hi guys,
Yeah I can see some "pitting" in the wood in certain places which I'm gonna hit with a little bondo and wet and dry and hope that sorts most of it out. After that I'm thinking about a few layers of primer followed by a couple of clear coat.
Is it possible for clear coat to react with silicone during the molding process? Also I just found out I can have these lathed out for cheap meaning I could offer plain wooden bottles out to the community for around 18 usd a pop if interest is enough.
Anyway I'll try and take some better photos tomorrow and post them up!

That is an awesome price for a wood blank. Making a straw mechanism for a wood bottle wouldn't be too terribly hard either. For the Diet Pepsi and Slice this would be awesome.

Guys, quick question...
I have sprayed a light layer of paint over the wooden bottle so I can see the wood grain a lot better then in its natural state. My question is should I use bondo to cover this or would I be OK using wood glue?
Both would be sanded down after I'm just wondering which would be easier to use and/or give better results?
Thanks Guys and Girls.

It's possible, depending on the silicone you're using and what's in the clear.
Tin cure, shouldn't be an issue. Platinum, it can be, depending on what's in the clear. I've had issues with Rustoleum (filler primer), seen others have the same issues with Rustoleum paint as well.
I'd just use some tin cure if you're using a bunch of different products on there, just to be safe. Besides, something that simple wouldn't need a complicated mold and there's not undercuts, so it doesn't need to be that tough.

The paint should be metallic red I think xD try a polycarbonate paint maybe? Not sure if it will match with wood but it gives some good effects

Thanks for the advice guys, I'm gonna try and get hold of some bondo if I can find any in this country then I'll have a look around for the tin cure.
I'm wondering if I should go the whole way and do the straws or just make a solid bottle, as this is my first prop build and all.

For the slice bottle?
Well you could just make a tiny bit of the straw when you open it, don't know if I'm clear, but would be a bit silly to make it empty from the inside!
Would be too much work for nothing XD! Just make 2 holes and insert a tiny bit of straw ^^ (that you would glue to the top of the "cap" I guess ^^
Not sure if I'm making sense...
But something like this ^^

What I actually meant is to do a version of the bottle without any flip-top at all, just a solid one piece bottle. I will probably end up doing the flip-top though because I know I wont be happy and end up going back to it anyway.
