Thread Name: bottleneck how to?
Subject: RE: bottleneck how to?
Do you have a tool which is sold here in Germany by the name of Dremel - looks like it is available worldwide: Dremel?
And if you have it, do you have a small "diamond cutting wheel" (or whatever the correct translation for Diamant-Trennscheibe is ;-))
If so, empty the bottle.
Get yourself protective glasses to prevent tiny pieces of glass from jumping into your eyes!
Now, the complicated part: get yourself (with Dremel and bottle) to a wash basin. Get the water dripping fast or a very thin continuous stream. Firmly hold the bottle in such a way that the water is dripping/running on the position where you are going to cut.
First do a cut all around the bottle, but only a fraction of the glass' thickness. Then work in deeper and deeper.
Use high speed, almost no pressure! And always keep the water dripping on the cut!
