   I’ve been watching these, and I have to ask: if you’re going to cut the top off, why do you want to reseal it to hold water?

   A good glue that i like using is the windshield mirror glue. That stuff holds for ever, because of the harsh conditions that the glue has to hold through

   I’m confused. If the bottle was cut, why does it matter if it holds water or the top fits? What do you need to reseal it for? I assume that you are just using the bottle for a vase or something.

   IM not trying to be difficult or anything but what is the point in cutting the bottle so it seals in the first place? Why would you want to cut a bottle in half if you need it to hold water? Im confused. I just came across this video as i am building my first aquarium.

   God, what a shame, you’re making great videos and people are being picky about silly little things like having your hand over the top… Must be frustrating and having to make a second video to clear things up. Keep up the good work Dan & Denise!

   This is common effect , put two flat surfaces of glass together with water between glass and stick like magic but is a effect.

    With some clear tape and a label, this could make a very good prank. Just don’t use anything that stains. Nice cuts, by the way.

    @GREENPOWERSCIENCE Thanks Dan. Having good success with it now. Made a cutter out of a bar clamp, a C clamp to hold the cutter onto the bar clamp, and of course, a glass cutter. Cool!

    Thanks, I’ll try that.

    You should not hear the glass “tink” from stress, too much heat. You will only see a light change at the score line, almost hard to notice if done with the right temperature. Thinner glass, less heat. Do one small area then work the crack around.

    Thanks for your advice. I was careful not to cut anywhere twice. Maybe the water was too hot. I’ll try again. I’ve always wanted to be able to do this.

    Do not cut the same spot 2x. Also use cooler water, the water only really needs to be about 170F.

    I’ve followed your directions as closely as I can but still can’t get it to work. Some of the glass breaks long the score line, and the rest wherever it wants to. There must be something I’m doing wrong, looks fairly simple in your video. Does it have to be a certain kind of wine bottle?

    I see some *mean* practical joke potential here.

    It seems like the method used would work with any shape, however your initial etching method would make use of a square (T-square-like).

    who gives a shit about holding the water. It’s fairly obvious that this is a pretty good method for cutting some glass, especially a bottle. The cut is obviously clean and the method is not abrasive at all, hell you could teach a fairly young kid to do it.

    Again nice work Dan.

    Dan I saw thins man in China that made a solar water heating system using old bottles I was thinking the best bottles to use would be the darkest beer bottles. I would love to make one way larger than I need to use for washing clothes imagine washing your clothes with water that is solar heated. Bottles are to be had by the hundreds every night from just one night club. If someone could find a use for them commercially they could have a decent side job home spun.

    you could put a model ship in those bottles, then a little label around the line, awesome!

    If one wanted to sand the edges down a little, what would one use?

    Dan,
    What is the purpose for these cut bottles? Please clue us in to where we can see the end result. I read about some kind of solar water heater?
    Also what do your neighbors have to say about your yard?
