How to Cut Glass With Alcohol
- 1). Put on protective eye goggles and gloves. Prepare a container of cold water large enough to completely submerge the glass you are cutting.
- 2). Soak a piece of string in alcohol. Tie it around the glass tightly in the place where you want the glass to be cut.
- 3). Light the ends of the string with the lighter. The string will burn around the glass. Allow it to burn completely before placing it in the container of water. The glass may break from the cold water. If not, you can use a wooden mallet to cut the glass at the weakened area.
- 4). Remove the glass from the water after it has been submerged for approximately 30 seconds. Gently tap the part of the glass with a wooden mallet that you want removed. This will break it apart from the other section of glass.
