Could you use a dremel/drill bit to take the glass out?

I tried a dremel but the problem is anything super abrasive will damage the metal underneath and that essentially ruins the look of the piece as well. I have tried many different solutions to dissolve the glue but none have worked.

I could explore that a bit more but was mainly concerned about discoloration in the metal due to the flame or heat.

is it possible to re-machine that surface maybe only going .0001 deeper on the cut to remove the epoxy/glass? This bodes well to show that once assembled not a simple matter to take it apart and then reassemble.

Yes that definitely sounds like it would work. The problem with that is I had the metal pieces made by a manufacturer so I don’t personally have the CNC to re-machine them. Appreciate the input.

Have you tried any method using dry ice? I know some adhesives break down easily with oils like wd-40 and some stuff called Aero Kroil. Good luck! Wallets look nice!

I definitely wouldnt break any more of them open. I think they will sell with address. Will just take some time. I think its a great piece and over time will prove itself. Just came to market at a bad time with btc down. I can tell a lot of time and work went into them. I think they're great. They will sell, just keep marketing.

Thank you I appreciate the compliment. Also, I have not tried or thought of dry ice. That is very interesting and I will look into it. Thanks for the tips and input as well.

Just received the sentinel bitcoin collectable. Well packaged. Prompt shipping. This thing is large! Very heavy. I haven’t seen anything else like it.
Quality of item I would say is 7/8 out of 10. Could use a bit more refinement, you can see the cutter marks on the outer polished bezel. Something I’m sure will be refined on future releases.
I see this was shipped from the USA. Are these 100% American sourced?
They have nice laminated COA, a nice bag to protect it. Overall unique collectable I’m happy to have a part of my collection.
Looking forward to seeing what you produce in the future!
Great item, prompt responses from sentinel.

Thanks for the feedback I always appreciate it! Yes, to my knowledge all companies ordered from are US based. The CNC company for the metal does have locations around the world as well though.

This sentinel has surprised me, it is really a large, unique and incredible piece In person it impresses much more. I recommend to longtime collectors to purchase a piece for their collection.

Did you figure out how to replace the glass? Any left? Also, what is the secret code to keep them from growing so large? I can now use mine to fight the large iguana and wild boar in the backyard. Have a nice day!!! I'll send you more updates as the bar continues to grow.

Have a nice day!!! I'll send you more updates as the bar continues to grow. Love the pic! Still working on the glass issue, another group member is really helping me out with some different testing options. Yes, I do have some still available but only the fully completed version. All the DIY ones I had have been sold. I will update if we come to a solution and can offer more DIY. As far as the growth it seems you’ve been feeding it well Good luck with large Iguanas!
