Is there anyone in EU with a little SLES they would sell me? It could be sent as a letter to Denmark. Looking for enough to do a 2,5 liter bottle and maybe some Astrobaby sized bottles.Continue

Bottles for DIY lamps - will they break?

Started this discussion. Last reply by Arne Dec 30, 2021. 7 Replies

I am considering some different glass cylinders as bottles for DIY lamps. Question is if they will break due to heat differences in the glass. First of all a 9*40 cm vase like on the picture. I…Continue

"Voss bottles do work, I made several of em and nothing broke, exploded or cracked so far.  Of course pyrex glass is the safer way but Lunar bottles arent so special either, it's just a huge whiskey bottle...same for the smaller version…"

"i think you will have good luck with pretty much anything so long as you are heating it relatively slowly and the glass is of a decent quality and doesn't have any defects. i have only had a bottle break on me once and it was because there was…"

"As Steffen says, unless you're using an LED bulb you're looking for trouble with shop-bought decorative glass, I'm afraid... The glass used in "heat" lamps is borosilicate - Pyrex to you and me - which will cope"

Bottles for DIY lamps - will they break?

I am considering some different glass cylinders as bottles for DIY lamps. Question is if they will break due to heat differences in the glass. First of all a 9*40 cm vase like on the picture. I suspect that the bigger the vase, the more likely it is to break. In general, the flower vases and cylinders you can get are pretty thin. Anyone with experience?
