It's fun to cut those Kraken Bottle butts off isn't it? I take the bottoms off to make my Beachcomber Lamps. Sweet lamp! How do you cut yours? I tried the burning yarn and ice water thing, and that didn't work too well...ended up scoring with a glass cutter then using my propane torch to GENTLY heat it then dunked it in ice water. Those bottle sure have an inconsistent thickness....But they just scream I WANNA BE A LAMP! :) Thanks, I score, heat and dunk like you did... It usually works. :D If the bottoms were not so thick it would be really easy but you're right they are perfect for lamps and it's worth it.
