thank you it does help, going to be doing this very soon. So it's a visual and tactile affirmation to know when the edge is smoothed out? cause probably microscopically this method of cutting leaves minute shards? not sure if anyone has looked into it. Probably a high temperature application onto the rim to make it properly inert ? Don't intend to make this a long ass chat thread but these questions just popped up and wondering if there are any answers to it.

@mefjoris

+Karthik Rao you will know the edge is smooth because you will see it happen as you go through the different grits of sand paper. After you flatten the rim the glass will be opaque, then will get more clear as you go through the grits.

If you happen to have a turntable you can use that. Sometimes turntables can be found cheaply at second hand stores or garage sales. A turntable with variable speeds is best. Also, dip your sandpaper strip in water frequently, that way you can avoid breathing in any nasty glass dust (micro shards). This method is pretty safe, but as with any advice from the internet, use at your own risk.

nice video. watching it i thought "why polish it until 2000, an not use heat and melt the edges?".. possible? ...of course first flattering them an smooth round but instead of polish. will this work to use heat to make is glossy?

+Old Crow .44 without seeing your process and jig it would be hard for me to diagnose the problem. What I have found is that if the score line is not perfect the glass may crack. If there is an irregular thickness in the bottle it may crack. Different glass has different properties and my process works for the type of glass I'm using. Try insulating just above and just below the score line with a few rounds of duct tape before you put the hot water to it to keep the heat just on the score line. I hope this helps you. Cheers.

@pixiedust7111989

7 жыл бұрын

Old Crow .44 I've had the same problem before myself. I've personally found that taking it slooowwwww is the best method. Instead of aiming for a break after the first or second heat shock, I do it in small, short bursts (sometimes it takes me as much as 10 times). I've found this especially important on big bottles as they usually have pretty uneven walls. Also (and possibly more important), make sure to keep the water on ONLY the score line as much as possible. You only want to stress the score line, not the whole bottle--that's where cracks occur. I received a Kinkajou bottle cutter for Christmas, and it comes with giant rubber zip ties to act as guides. I'm not sure if they're available commercially, but I'm sure there are all kinds of rigs you can make to block off unwanted water spread. Like the video creator said, duct tape might help. Hope those tips are of some help!
