Title: Bottle coating method

Abstract: Method and apparatus for providing a completely encircling coating of an organic polymeric material on a localized region of a glass container. At a coating station, a glass container is rotated through at least 360.degree.. During the rotation, a material application head furnishes fluid organic polymeric material to the surface of the localized region of the glass container which is to be coated. Stop members hold the application head a fixed distance from the localized region and a doctoring edge of the application head helps form a uniform layer or coating of the organic polymeric material completely encircling the localized region.
