CEL said:If I can use alcool too, I tie the rope around the bottle and soak it with alcool. Then I put water in the bottle until the level of the rope.
Igniting the rope the outside of the bottle will expand. The water dissipates the heat maintaining the form in the inside of the bottle.
The stress will cut the bottle neatly, making a drinking glass.

You put cold water on the inside of the bottle, wrap the rope around the bottle appropriately, and subject it to intensely hot steam (a water source). Again, the water INSIDE the bottle acts as a heat sink (not to mention the rope around the outside, which can act as a shield), and helps to cool the glass in the bottle that's touching the water. Meanwhile (since glass isn't a good conductor) the glass that's exposed to the steam directly expands and breaks.
You could probably even do it with NO rope, and just using water, since the difference in temperature between nearly-freezing water and boiling water is (I believe) sufficient to break glass.

Then you've got to use the string as a saw. I'm just not sure how.transgalactic said:you are close to the truth but you are not correct
we get a lean cut
One way to turn a bottle into a glass is by using a glass cutter to score a line around the bottle. Then, carefully tap along the score line with a metal object to create a clean break. Sand down any sharp edges with sandpaper.
It is possible to make a glass out of various types of bottles, but some materials, such as plastic or thin glass, may not be suitable for this process. It is best to use thicker glass bottles that can withstand the pressure of being scored and broken.
While a glass cutter is the most effective tool for this process, you can also use other items such as a diamond-tip drill bit or a Dremel tool with a cutting wheel. However, these may not give as clean of a break as a glass cutter.
If the bottle is thoroughly cleaned and the edges are sanded down, it should be safe to drink out of a glass made from a bottle. However, be cautious when using a glass made from a bottle that previously held chemicals or other hazardous substances.
After breaking the bottle and sanding down the edges, you can use a glass grinder or polishing compound to smooth out any rough areas and give the glass a shiny finish. Be sure to thoroughly rinse the glass after using any chemicals or polishing agents.
