[NFB-Krafters-Korner] Tactile markings for mugs?

Mon Aug 20 19:00:58 UTC 2018

E600 is a great glue if you are gluing someone on the mugs.  An idea might be different shaped buttons or beads like rhinestones.  

I would not use it by itself to "puff" up so you can feel it.  It is not that type of glue.

You might consider using Puff Paint.  It come in a tube and you can feel it once it dries.  Simple things you could do would be a circle on one, a square on another, a swirly line etc.

If you are still interested in a glue, you might consider E6000. It is good to use on glass, pottery, etc. I know the pottery shop here uses it & recommends it. I don't know much more than that, but a quick Google search might give you the answers you need.

I've seen those, and I think that is along the lines of what Becky is talking about. Thanks much for the idea that didn't occur to me.
Appreciate it.

There are "charms" that are used to identify/decorate wine glasses. I do not know how they attach to the stem of the glass, but maybe putting one on the handle of your mug.

I have this plastic that could go around the handle of your cup and it snaps tight in place. I haven't run it through a dishwasher though. Zip tie is another idea. Maybe the little metal bead things that are like three four inches long clipped to the handle of the cup. Maybe on that metal beaded thing you could slide on beads dishwasher safe, so it looks prettier. A tiny spring like a baby bracelet. A tight-fitting beaded bracelet that goes inside the handle and around the cup. There are so many tactile cups. Why reinvent the wheel when your answer is a tactile dog face or pig or candy cane or sailboat, whatever you enjoy. I have one here with a harness and handle that is tactile from the Seeing Eye, grin. How about a tactile Miss Wasit. Bet no one in that church has a Miss wasit from the NFB, grin.

Just some other ideas.

Did you try plastic dyno tape. It might stick better if you place it on the side of the mug near the bottom.

Hi,

Our church has this thing where everyone has a mug for coffee assigned to them. Getting "mugged," is a way of extending a warm welcome to people involved in Bible studies and fellowship.

Our names have been placed on the mugs in permanent marker, which, of course, does not help us identify our own mugs.

There are several that lookand feel exactly alike, and the engravings are not tactile enough for distinctions.

I actually took the mugs home, in hopes of being able to affix permanent glue dots. The strongest glue we have is not lasting through an experimental wash, and the traditional waterproof glue, such as Goop, is rubbery intexture and comes off easily.

Does anyone have any ideas on how to best mark the bottomof our mugs that will not come off in a washing.

I was, at first hoping to use a notch file to make a mark on the bottom edge, but didn't work either.

I have not mastered super glue, since it is so runny.

The only thing I can think of is bringing our own mugs that are different from those at church.

Plus, I would like to hear about others' experiences using the crazy glues or super glues, looking for good nonvisual techniques. I am successful with thicker glues, such as wood glue, elmers, Goop, etc., but could always learn more for sure.

Thanks for any ideas!

Judy
