Clearman Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 Give me some opinions. What does everyone think of the orange juice caps that have those kind of Gothic arches around the rim? Convenient display material? Cool at first but now played out? Just plain cheesy? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pingo Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 I think they’re cool. Paint ‘em something apart from International Safety Orange and you’re good to go. I also like the OTHER Tropicana orange juice lids, which make pretty good spaceship portals. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clearman Posted June 6, 2019 Author Share Posted June 6, 2019 Would you use one for a competition entry? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 I have never noticed them before, can you post a pic? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clearman Posted June 6, 2019 Author Share Posted June 6, 2019 This came from a bottle of Simply Orange. If I use it, my plan is to build up something inside the circle so that the rounded lip would still be visible. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loim Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 James Wappel painted one up as a marble base at Reapercon a few years back. It was pretty awesome. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TGP Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 There are at least four styles (from at least that many product brands). And some of the styles are available in two sizes. STōK cold brew coffee has an interesting one. 2 hours ago, Clearman said: This came from a bottle of Simply Orange.

Any Lowe’s or Home Depot, maybe Menards or FleetFarm. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glitterwolf Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 Paint it grey and add very fine sand to the paint while doing so, you will create a concrete /stone look that way easily. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rigel Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 I plan on turning a Tropicana lid into a plinth for a circus elephant. In the right context and with the right paintjob, should be as competition-friendly as any round pedestal. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
