Any help on how to "CLEAN" cut neck of liquor bottles like GREY GOOSE. be specific please, especially if tools needed
thanks

I'd like to know too please, not so much the scoring - I've got a nifty little gadget that rets in the mouth of the bottle and scores an even line - but how do you get it to break? I've tried thermal shock, hot water inside/cold out and vice versa; the bottle breaks, but not where I want it to. Can you use direct heat? I've got a kitchen blow torch, the sort you're supposed to use for creme brulees, and other culinary delights I don't make, would that be OK? Temp is 1200C.
Also, would this be OK for making the odd bead?

thanks

I don't think any of those Mickey Mouse contraptions are going to cut the neck of a Grey Goose. This glass is really thick.

My only suggestion might be to try a tile saw.

Several years ago someone on the board, maybe Charlie, suggested tying a string around the bottom of a bottle; soaking it with lighter fluid then setting it on fire. After the string burns, rub an ice cube on it and it will break. I tried this once on a bottle and it didn't work.

Tile saw- I've been cutting the thick tops off for rings for my kid (part payment for room steelin')- I think he sells them at school- and the bottoms of the interesting ones for tumblers. Recycling.
