smOOTHING ROUGH eDGes

Cover the bottom of a shallow dish or pan with water, approximately 1/8". place the 60 emery paper into the pan, rough side

up. Rub the edges of the cut glass or jar on the surface of the emery paper to grind off any rough spots. Rub glass on pad

in a circular motion until somewhat smooth. Tilt bottle at an angle to smooth edges. Finish with the fine 120 emery paper

which should result in a smooth edge.

WIDe mOUTH JARs

Secure the lid to the top of the jar; punch an opening in center of the lid with ice pick or nail, approximately the same size of

the cone tip. BE CAREFuL! Insert the narrow tip of cone into the hole, proceed with normal cutting instructions.

TIps AND TeCHNIQUes

1. Do not cut too deeply. Deep cuts require very hard tapping, which leads to bottle breakage.

2. proper light is required so you can see the fracture advance. Tap just hard

enough 1/8" ahead of fracture to advance fracture ½" at most.

3. Insure the 7" bar (part B) is adjusted properly.

4. If in tapping the bottle it becomes difficult to fracture, this

usually indicates you have come to a thick area

in the glass. Switch direction. To force your

fracture through the thick portion will result in

a run-a-way advance of the fracture.

RINGs FROm bOTTles

Ring sections can be cut from bottles of various

sizes. To aid you in obtaining rings of a given height,

use the ruler marks on the surface of the vertical

cutter arm. make your first cut at the bottom and raise the cutter equal amounts after each cut. When sufficient rings have

been cut, separate the rings at the score using the hot/cold bath method mentioned on page 7.

GlAss ADHesIVes

To adhere bottle pieces together and create a project, there are many glass adhesives on the market. If you plan to put your

glass creation in the dishwasher, make sure the adhesive you use is dishwasher safe. We strongly recommend that you

start with a clear silicon adhesive. Silicones are known to be dishwasher safe. Whichever adhesive you choose to use, read

the manufacturer's directions carefully. Before applying any adhesive to glass, roughen the surfaces with 60 grit

emery paper.
