    For anyone wondering I managed to do it with a regular drill and drill bit. It took a lot longer but I eventually got it. You just have to drill really slow the whole time

      That would work great unless you're trying to drill on a vertical pane as in a double pain window/door. My drill was hollow with a slot in it which held a little water for a while. Caution: you can't drill it too slow! I have a shattered glass to prove that. I was drilling slow bur apparently not slooooooowwwww enough. I have another to test my slow speed on. I may take the shattered one out and just use one pain. Coastal SC never gets very cold anyway. Wish me luch as I finish the second one. I have a ring drilled half way through but I suspect the critical point is when you break through the second surface. Any comments?

    Here's a magic trick that'll blow your mind: Alcohol makes hot glue release instantly. I stops adhering to anything, so instead of scraping it off, you can just add a few drops of alcohol.

  • @EnigmaticAmber
    @EnigmaticAmber 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    what if you filled the bottle with water, and did the hot glue thing, that way the water wont drain into the bottle, or would that give poor results in terms of the glass braking more often?

    would it be a bad idea to fill the bottle with water?

  • @Disappointed739
    @Disappointed739 5 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    One of the primary reasons glass breaks is because of high frequency sounds which hit resonant frequencies of the glass. The dam of glue plus water is dampening the soumd as well as cooling the glass. Filling the bottle with water would have a similar effect. So would immersing the bottle in a small tub of water.

    Hi my friend... In addition to having a pool of water on the outside using hot melt glue if you fill the bottle full with water it will help when you pierce through the bottle...

  • @jackmcgarey7972
    @jackmcgarey7972 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    The idea with the Hot Melt is really cool I think if you fill the bottle up with water and put a cap on it then you wouldn't have to keep squirting water into the Hot Melt ring
