How to cut a bottle with a rope
Step # 1. Cut 80-100 cm Rope or Threads. It should be enough to clean the bottle several times. You can use woolen, cotton or jute thread. Put the thread on the bottom of the glass and fill with a small amount of medical alcohol so that the fibers are soaked with liquid. Leave for a few minutes.
Step # 2. Remove the thread from the glass, if necessary, press and wrap it with it in the place where you plan to get a cut. Screw the thread as thick as possible. Then put on rubber gloves, take a bottle into hand, tilting it perpendicular to the floor, and burn the thread. Before climbing, make sure that the alcohol traces are not left on the hands, the bottle itself and on the floor. Alcohol should be only on the thread.
Step # 3. Keep the bottle perpendicular to the floor above the pelvis with water, gradually turning the heat of fire evenly distributed over the thread. After 30-40 seconds, when the alcohol is burning, lower the bottle in the casual water pelvis.
Step number 4. If everything is done correctly, you will hear the characteristic crackling of broken glass. The bottle is divided into 2 parts in the place where it was wound. The smaller you placed the thread on the bottle at the very beginning, the neat will be cut.
The secret of this method is simple. The glass cracks due to the difference of temperatures that affect it: first heats the burning thread, and then cools the water. Alternative option. Take the bottle and wrap it with metal wire. Light a candle and keep the bottle over it perpendicular to the floor so that the flames concerned the wire. Scroll the bottle evenly distributing heat. After about a minute, drop the bottle into cold water. The result will be the same: over the winding line, the bottle is divided into 2 parts.
Do not forget to process the edges of the product obtained, so as not to cut down. For example, you can poll them or enclose some material. Thus, bottles can be converted into glasses, vases, candlesticks or other capacities that can be useful in the household.
