will this cut the bottoms off bottles? I want to incorporate the round bottoms in my stain glass project.

Yes. I have had 70% success with getting a clean cut using the hot to cold method to separate my bottles. I first soak the bottle at the stress line in boiling water, then transfer it to ice cold water. Sometimes the bottle separates cleanly and other times, not so much. This product, I think, includes a string and candle to help stress the glass to separate. I have not used it; perhaps that method produces better results.

No, I cut round corners on each piece. But they do come in different thickness, 3ml, 5 ml and up. Use the 3ml and you should be fine.

I use them on Eveflo glass bottles. I would guess the lid would work on other bottles too.

I've been cutting the bottoms off of wine bottles. The thickest one was probably only 1/4 of an inch, (which was not a problem) but not sure about 1/2 inch....I think the hardest part with that would be getting a straight break when separating.

Sorry but we have only used with wine bottles. It has worked well on a variety of bottle sizes.

Mine didn't work at all... But I think there are YouTube videos that show how to use it with different shaped bottles... Good luck!

They say not to put it i the DW, but we do - the glass bottle cleans out well in the DW; the plastic bottom parts do fade - use the top rack.

Absolutely! I used only glass bottles and it worked like a charm. Now my daughter is on to sippy cups and use this as a drying rack for my wine glasses! ;)

Yes. Some bottles that are too big I have on the very bottom, with the rack above it removed

Yes. Bottom unscrews from glass for cleaning. Top, obviously, is removable as well.

It is my understanding that there is a separate product for recycling plastic bottles, so my inclination is to say that the one listed for wine bottles would not work for the plastic. Having said this I haven't tried it for anything other than wine bottles, so I really don't know.

If you wish to cut off top, to refill the canister with chlorine tabs, I don't think it would work. If you wish to reuse for something other than pool chlorination, then you could cut off top like you do the handle (when placing the cycler pac in chloinator... )

Mine are not the same way, the tubes in my purchase do reach the bottom of the bottles.

If you have a pair of really good scissors you can cut into the bottle and get the last bit out. It takes some work, but can be done. I have done this a few times, and have gotten a couple more days out at least.

I would not try it. Look at purchasing a better cutter like the Ephrems bottle cutter. The Armour cutting blade is not up to cutting any bottle period.

Sorry can't help. Returned them because they didn't fit the bottles I had. If you have one you will be able to identify that the opening will have to be fairly large. I would be very hesitant to cut the rubber rings down, as oil has a nasty habit of finding an alternative way out,

I bought my pumps fully expecting I would have to trim them to the proper height. Just remember when you trim them to trim the end that goes "IN" the pump. The other end that will be at the bottom or your bottle should have an angle cut of approximately 45 degrees.Don't cut them too short either or they will not reach the bottom of the bottle.
