Pretty much like in this video:

I used rubbing alcohol. Out of 4 bottles, I got 2 glasses. The other 2 didn't split cleanly and were too rough to sand and cracked.

Stone Ruination bottle got ruined... Perfect reason to get a few more  :cheers:

Not as fun as using fire but this looks pretty slick as well.

That's probably a much better way! I tried a couple more with the rubbing alcohol and yarn trick, both bottles cracked and couldn't be sanded...
