I'm giving this a second attempt today. Yesterday's didn't work, the string I had was synthetic and just melted. I got some cotton string to try now.

Ha! Just like the "old days". Why do ya think that for years the method was called bottleneck"? I never heard it called "slide" until about 20 or so years ago. And back in the day we used to try that out using our Zippo lighters.

Try and find a Coricidin bottle these days! GC has them. At least they look like them.
That method is not working for me so I'm looking to cut the bottle on a tile saw.

Some from way back also made 'em from the necks of beer bottles. I never knew GC sold bottles. You'd figure they's sell the already made slides from bottles. Whitefang

Ah, I figured. Ready-made glass slides. And I sincerely doubt the were fashioned from actual bottles. And stick with it.. If Burt Lancaster(or obviously a double) can make a water bowl for his bird from a soda pop bottle(The Birdman Of Alcatraz('62) You can get the slide done. Whitefang

Rirst attempts did not get the bottle hot enough. Today I did get it hot enough but it was too hot on one side and the break was a real mess. Time to find more bottles!

I'm going to look at a tool to do the cutting. Get some symmetry and consistency.

Why don't buy a slide from the music stores. I had both glass sides and steel slides and I preferred the steel slides and by far. Good luck in your efforts however.

Well, if he doesn't have fun making the slides he'll at least have a blast emptying the bottles! Whitefang

DB, the closest music store is pretty much over an hour away and currently I can't leave my gal alone that long for a small thing like that. Since this is wine country I think I can source some bottle from restaurants not far away and at least figure out a new skill. I can also order on line but no idea what size would be right. The adventure continues!

Martin Mull once used a baby bottle for a blues parody that YT doesn't seem to carry anymore.
It was pretty funny.
