Post by: EtHeRpEeKeR on February 20, 2003, 04:09:00 AM

Trouble finding a flask, well look no futher, because I have deal 4 u. Make a trip to ur local W??-???t and get a coffee pot, not a reg. pot but a WHISTLER pot. Disasemble it so all uhave left is the glass part..go to a local Hardware est. and get a 3" rubber test cap for PVC for lid and abt 3' of 5/8 braided hose and a bag of balloons, throw it all together to make relieable vessel that will carry u into the next millineum ;)

Title: How about crystal?
Post by: halfkast on February 21, 2003, 08:21:00 AM

How would a crystal vase do? You could throw it back up on the mantle piece after cleaning.

You have to be careful with otc ghetto glass because every bottle is different, I've looked at hundreds. Things I've noted are:
uneven thickness of the base
fractures or folds in the glass on the base during blowing
very green through the glass signifying a lot of airbubbles

those three are the ones that should make you think twice.

Like, you aren't going to find perfect clarity in coke bottle crap, but look at heaps of coke or beer bottles, SOME ARE BETTER THAN OTHERS, choose the best one after looking at a lot of them.

whistler tea kettles will work but are subject to cracks and breakage like any glassware' plus they need some extra tweaking to work''so for the money it's not very practical.

"search the hive for better methods".

SWIHFT has used the very same setup your using'' and while it works there are much better and easier methods available.
