    If I can find the bottles in the shed, I should make a few of these again. Each "kit" had a natural and maduro "band aids" withe the cigar glue. The glue is the same stuff the rollers use (I used to roll and got punds of it with my supplies) and was in new bottles with new brushes.

    I will let YOU fill in the blanks _________ _________ _________

    You should. I would buy one for sure. I have a couple cigars that I have received in purchases here of late that have had minor cracks or damage. If it is on the foot it doesn't bother me, but some of the damage is on the body.

    I'll keep the thread updated if I find the bottles. It really depends on finding those.

    I'm not sure about the band aids & packaging. The boxes were expensive and it was labor intensive to cut the perfect shapes to fit the boxes. I'm out of the Yellow shade grown I had used for the natural and it is expensive leaf. I do have plenty of neutral binder or 2nd grade wrapper and brazilian maduro. TO "ME" the glue without a band aid is pointless...If I can keep it simple, I think we can bring it back.

    Found my bottle stash.
    Just glue: $5.00 should cover postage, packaging, materials.
    Glue & Leaf Band Aids $7.50 should cover postage, packaging, materials. There would be both medium brown and maduro band aids.

    There won't be any label on bottle, no boxes, or insert.

    Just send PM

    If you want the real deal get gum tragacanth or gum arabic its what the factories use. Tasteless, odorless, and clear. You can probably find gum arabic at any local crafts store. If not you can get it here... https://www.leafonly.com/other-tobac...lue-gum-arabic

I vaguely remember a repair thread on the other forum about repairing some issues.

    Thanks in advance.

    I got it off a CC site so cant relly link it here. It works well, was firly inexpensive and has a nice little "nail polish" brush. Just gently peel the wrapper back and apply sparingly.

    Put me in the Chapstick camp. Seems to work well for me so far. YMMV

    @Drez I used honey to fix my Warped Oso. It worked great, smoked perfect. Thanks for the advice.
