Warning:
Make sure to take OFF bottle lids or corks before doing this.
If you try the acetone method, make sure to do it outside as acetone is highly flammable.
Don't forget to wear your safety glasses and gloves.

good tip is to sand the edges once cut for safety. use 60 grit paper and then 240 for a smooth finish

Me: Trying to go to sleep. YouTube: Wanna know 3 ways how you can cut glass? Me: sure.

Wow. I almost killed myself doing this (method #1) First of all, I made an incredibly stupid rookie mistake. I left the cork in the bottle I was cutting. Secondly acetone is more flammable that I thought it was, I mean this shit is like gasoline. I did this in my kitchen sink. When I lit the string on fire is was an out-of-control flame and I dropped the bottle in the sink. The gases from the acetone collected in the sink and did a huge flare up, burned my hand pretty bad. When I put the bottle in the bucket of water (remember I had left to cork in) the quick drop in pressure and temperature exploded the bottle 3 feet from my face. Every piece of glass missed me. I'm lucky I'm not fucking dead. So here's tip for you newbies (newbies like me), be fucking careful, do this shit outside, and wear protective equipment on your eyes and hands. The dude in the video is a pro whose done this a hundred times or more. And NEVER leave the fucking lid on. I can't believe I did that. Good video, good tutorial, just be careful if you've never done this before.

After 10 videos, I ended up using a metal file, going around the bottle where I wanted to cut it until it was as good as I could get it. Then while the water was heating up to boil, I got bored. Got my blowtorch. Went around the filed part a couple times, then put it into water, and it worked! The acetone and string method is the closest to what I just did, and it seems MUCH more simple! Going to use that from now on! Got a nice whiskey glass made out of a Jameson bottle. The next one I make I'm doing the acetone string method and making it larger, more for regular drinking stuff, not a small whiskey glass.

I have tried every way there is. I'm sticking with the bottle cutter then candle method. It never fails and gives perfect results. No "do-overs". No frustration.

I never thought of using a bottle cutter, absolute MADNESS!
-
For quicker cut using glass cutter, simply apply very hot water to bottle after using glass cutter, then apply very cold water. It’ll snap off quickly

So I have the bottle , got the string , the acetone and away I go . Looks really simple to do . After setting fire to the string the sink then caught fire where I'd poured the acetone over the string and the whole bottle was in flames and so was my hand .In panic I ran yelling " the house is on fire" to my bemused boyfriend who casually turned the tap on .After putting more thought into what I was doing and 3 more tries this did actually work . Safety first !

I tried the first method and it resulted in the breaks not being where I intended. Scoring and using 2 candles to maximise heat and getting it v hot then cooling in water caused the cracks to appear in the right place. Thanks for the video!
-
Should mention that the edge of the cut glass needs to be smoothed down with a grinding stone or heavy duty sand paper. so none gets cut...no bloody mess please!
-
If you're going to try the first method, please watch this before you do. https://youtu.be/vdaKrT9x1Zc

I'd do the second method for sure! Thank you for putting this up!!! Helpful.
-
I've broken so many cups but have allot of wine bottles to replace them! great video
-
Use sturdy leather gloves for handling glass. Make sure you clean any acetone off your hands or gloves before you light the string.
-
Cool video, I throw away so much class every day, little bit of time and I could have a collection of soda bottle glasses
-
This is great! I have some beautiful blue bottles that I have been saving. Now, I will give them a second purpose. Thank you!
-

He makes it look so EASY. Great video....way better than the first one I saw and not going to mention. I am ready to get started. Glad I didnt use a propane torch. Candle so much more efficient. Perfect.
