How to cut glass bottles with glass thread to make glasses?
Before starting with this procedure of cutting glass bottles, it is recommended to wash them very well in the containers. Remember that sanitizing glass is much easier than plastic, and the bad smell goes away quickly.
Below we will see how to cut and the elements that are required:
Materials
- 1 Glass bottle
- Thread
- Masking tape
- 1 Large container
- Water
- Lots of ice
- 1 Syringe
- Industrial alcohol
- 1 Lighter
- Water sandpaper
Procedure
- First of all, we wash the bottle very well and with Masking tape we proceed to mark. We do it right where we want to cut, one suggestion is that it be below the bottle spout and as uniform as possible.
- Then, wrap the bottle with thread underneath where we have marked it, always very straight. We can turn it several times if the glass is thick, we have to do it slowly and with the necessary time.
- Next, place water and a lot of ice in a container. Reserve.
- Next step, we proceed to wet the thread of the bottle with industrial alcohol and we do it with a syringe.
- Then we remove the tape and very carefully set the string on fire, once it goes out we immerse the bottle in ice water that we have reserved. Immediately you will hear a click, which is precisely the noise of the bottle cutting.
- To finish, remove the thread and we can polish the edges of the glass in the water with the sandpaper. It is the safe way to avoid possible cuts and any other type of accidents.
