Glass Cutting Oil, Suitable for All Glass Cutting Tools, 4 Ounces Glass Cutter Oil is Used for Cutting Glass, Stained Glass, Glass Bottles, Tiles and Mirrors

We bought this because we are building partial walls out of cut bottles. And boy-oh-boy did we need to find an easier way! This little unit works exactly as advertised. Keep in mind that it WILL NOT cut the bottle all the way thru… it’s not supposed to and that expectation is totally unrealistic. It simply scores the glass. We have cut everything from wine bottles to beer bottles to Jarrito bottles and everything in between. If the glass is smooth and not ribbed, it’s going to work. While it’s easy to use… you have to follow the instructions and be patient with the process. Any failures is not the fault of the unit itself, it’s simply the luck of the draw. Not every bottle is going to cut perfectly. There are a lot of variables…. Including the thickness of the bottle. We had been cutting bottle after bottle all day with a lot of success and then tried a Bud Platinum bottle (for that beautiful blue glass) and it shattered almost immediately. It was MUCH thinner than the others and our usual amount of pressure was too much. So we adjusted our technique for different types and have now had great success with the Bud, as well. TECHNIQUE FOR SUCCESS: We found that getting the label and all of the adhesive off first is crucial. You don’t want to dull the blade or have the blade press the adhesive into the exact spot you expect to cut cleanly. Soak the bottles in soapy water, the labels will slide right off. Then we sprayed a Dawn/rubbing alcohol/water spray and used a wire brush or other scrubber, steel wool, etc to get that adhesive. SOAKING in soapy water was way more effective (and cheaper) than Goo-b-gone and all that other stuff. Now you’re ready to use the cutter. Be firm but not crazy. Don’t monkey the heck out of it. Pay attention to where you start the scoring line so you can join it perfectly. DO NOT go around and around… one time only. It won’t look like much but it is enough. Once scored, we would spin the bottle in a pot of VERY HOT BUT NOT BOILING water, heat it up, pull it out, set the bottle sideways in a frying pan with the neck raised on the edge of the pan and slowly spin it while holding an ice cube on the score mark. Repeat as needed: Heat, ice, heat, ice. Sometimes it releases immediately and sometimes it takes a few rotations. But it works. We have been able to cut over 100 bottles so far and have not even changed the blade yet. Well worth the money! The design is simple and effective. It’s tedious work but this unit helps SO MUCH! Thank you!

I've used it on 4 bottles so far and did as it was supposed to. Good quality, and the instructions on how to cut and then separate were excellent and worked beautifully on my bottles.

This tool functions great as a jig to score glass bottles - but do not expect to use this to create full cuts. I had previously been cutting bottles using a variable speed rotary tool with a high-speed diamond-edge cutter and was looking for a less messy way to make more straight and level cuts with a lower failure rate. Does this enable me to create a consistent, straight, level score around a bottle? Totally. However, there is a lot to do AFTER scoring the cut line that is fairly fastidious. If you're expecting to bust this out of its box and have a lovely cut bottle within a few minutes, you are going to be pretty frustrated. It works well for me and my needs, but make sure you read through reviews and the instructions before ordering to know what you're getting into. This is a fraction of the cost of my diamond-edge cutting wheel, which is awesome, and once it's set up and you're familiar with it you can really quickly score bottles with perfectly straight lines. However, you have to plan for the steps that come after the scoring part!

I recently bought their and have been really pleased with how it performs. It’s easy to use, and the instructions are straightforward, so I was able to start cutting bottles without any issues. The cuts are clean and even, which makes it great for turning old wine or beer bottles into things like candle holders or vases. I’ve also tried it on mason jars, and it works just as well. The build quality seems solid, and I like that it feels durable enough to last for a while. Overall, it’s a great tool if you’re into DIY projects and want to upcycle bottles. It does exactly what it promises and has been a fun addition to my crafting supplies.

Nice product but takes a little trial and error to set up properly.. I feel it could use another caster on the cutting wheel side towards the back for a bit more stability

Nice glass cutter included with extra blades. As for the "contraption"... meh. Didn't work for me. I scored and scored, then did the hot/cold/hot/cold thing.. no luck. I can't seem to get ANY bottle cut using this thing. And it's clunky, inelegant, unstable, and inaccurate. In addition to a back side brace, it needs a top brace to keep any bottle solid and in place. The wheels are non-adjustable so the size is really only geared to very specific larger bottles (like wine bottles). Not at all easy to use. I would not purchase this again. The value for money was not great. It'll end up in a box in the garage, probably pretty soon. But I will use the glass oil and hand cutter that came with the contraption.

So far it works great. Use a bigger one at my stained glass class so far just doing touchups on it. Happy with the performance. Easy to clean if you work on a tray to carry it to dump the water. Nice not to have to use a sponge (not sure how they do that)

Passt super und man braucht nur einen Tropfen

Great product!

A good product to have with the glass cutter. Makes it easy to cut by having the oil.

It was what I needed to help with my leaded glass work

Ist gut, mit der Pipette die dabei ist, ist es leicht zu dosieren
