I am thinking of building a wine cellar, goes in well with the Hotel theme. Especially since I have a secret passage leading out of a lounge/bar area.
I could not find plastic wine bottles (box wine wouldn't work well!!!!) and I have friends MORE than willing to help empty bottles for me!!
Question is using the glass bottles in the attraction. Wine racks in the background are no problem, but I would be using the racks to maze people through the "cellar" so the bottles could be "touchable". I really do not have much trouble with patrons touching things ( we have them walk with their hands on the shoulders of the person in front of them) but I would feel safer if I could protect the few bottles that could be in grabbing distance. I don't want to put a piece of plexiglass or any other barrier in front of them. I want the realistic look of just bottles sitting on the shelf.
I was thinking maybe coating the bottle in a resin, or that clear stuff you use in plant arrangements to simulate water (also a resin) or some other coating so that in the unlikelyhood of someone breaking a bottle all of the glass remains contained. Sort of making the bottles "safety bottles"!!
Any thoughts? Anyone done sometime similar to protect glass?
