bottles score, but will not seperate in hot cold bath or with fire & ice

I've made a collection of glasses made from beer/wine bottles using this tool. Once the score is in the bottle, the tool has done its job. The actual separating portion of the project takes practice. Try (very gently) pouring boiling hot water from a tea kettle directly onto the score while spinning it around. You don't need a ton of water to do this - just enough to heat up the bottle. Then run it under freezing cold faucet water - also while spinning the bottle around. You have to be careful not to create stress cracks, otherwise the bottle will not break off perfectly.

If the bottle is adequately scored, then the tapping from the inside with the tool will start the break. Once it is started, don't move too far ahead of the break. You can see where the break is because the scored line becomes clearer and is actually the the thickness of the glass.

We have had good luck with this. Before you try and score the bottle rub a small film of oil around it then score like the directions say. This will help to prevent cracks

Try a bottle brush? I'm not sure as I haven't cleaned it yet but that's what I'll try.

The floor space is large enough for 4 bottles, but the height is too short (my bottles are about 1/2" too tall). I could get two bottles by tilting them. But it's a moot question now as my fridge quit cooling.

Sorry... I haven't used the other bottles. But, I have a couple different sizes of the Polar and they work well, especially if you fill with ice and/or partially freeze ahead of time.

Not standing upright. I've fit 3-4 bottles and a cooler pouch but they have to lay down.

Make sure that the solution bottle is pushed down all the way in the holder. Mine does the same if it is not all the way in the holder. Hope that works for you!

Hi Nix. This bottle is great, but is not thermal. If you put ice in it and leave it at room temperature, the ice will melt.

the bottom shelf requires that you pull it out to get the bottles out. the other ones do not. sometimes the bottles stick if you have a bottle that is thick at the bottom.

Have only had this problem with drinking glasses getting stuck, one inside the other. Maybe instead of hot water just rap gently with a wooden spoon on all sides of the neck while gently pulling the spout. Cover with a cloth just in case of breakage. Good luck. Hope someone comes up with a better idea.

It's not true because I used glass bottles on it so many-many times. Just don't make it too hot then put in cold water while still very hot to cool it because it might break your glass bottle. Hope this will help you!

I found a solution for this. I don't have this particular cooler (Yet!) but I have others. When I want to use a bottle or similar, smaller container, I first wrap the lower half of the bottle (or desired beverage container) with 1 or 2 wet paper towels (or just one folded in half, depending on your container). This makes it thick enough to stay snug in the cooler. It also keeps the beverage just as cold as if you used a can. I primarily do this with "The Fridge Freezable Cooler" drink holders. It works AMAZINGLY well!!! Actually freezes the paper towels! Hope this helps!!

You can put one bottle and it remains cool or hot thats it. You should try this. This is best.Medela Breastmilk Cooler Set

I don't know. I have the older version that is not insulated. You'll need to check the size of your insulated bottle.

Hi, pretty new @ bottle cutting, only did wine bottles. try web site for g2 cutter, they might say. friend in Seattle having excellent results w/wine bottles. don't blame g2 cutter if they don't seperate rite away. I'm still practicing, ( but have limited supply of bottles to work with). her's are cutting perfectly, only losing 1 or 2 out of 30. Her hint is..... sml blow torch over score line, then extremely cold water (using tons of ice). good luck, Betty

The bottles have clean breaks. But to put it back together might be difficult so the break wouldn't show. We've done over 30 bottles and every one has a very clean break when we used the heat/ice method.

Chances are that you have a missing gasket so you are not sealing between head and bottle

I did not have that experience at all. I washed my bottles in the dishwasher if that makes a difference? I always use high water temp and heated dry.
