The nature of this material makes fiberglass keepsake urns not only highly decorative, but also very long-lasting and robust. The first step in manufacturing a fibreglass keepake urn is to create a structure from fiberglass, resin and plaster. To this, two or three thick coats of glaze mixed with plaster are applied. Mother-of-pearl designs are then glued on to the urn, followed by a further three coats of glaze.
The keepsake urn is rinsed with water between each coating. Colours are then applied, then another coat of varnish. The mother-of-pearl design is picked out and cleaned with a knife, then a final coat of varnish is applied, the urn is smoothed off and polished, and the process is complete.
