glass blowing help.
    #19281213 - 12/15/13 08:44 PM (10 years, 1 month ago)

I've never blown glass, and I'm making a half assed attempt at making a bong.

I have a nice graduated cylinder on a pedestal.

It's somewhat thick but I'm afraid when I try to blow the bottom to make a reservoir for the water it will become to thin, and either rip open or be really brittle.

Any way to help this not happen?

You're pretty much fucked on that one. :shrug:
I'm assuming that it is already very thin glass, as most graduated cylinders are, so blowing it out would have to make it thinner and therefore more brittle.  You can still do it if you are very cautious while blowing it out and only blow it out just as much as possible.  Even then, the bong will be pretty brittle.

My suggestion would be to either make a straight tube bong by just popping a hole diagonally downward into the cylinder and then add a down-stem and such, or get a new vessel such as a vase and do the same.
:psybong:

Blowing out the graduated cylinder would definitely provide entertainment and learning opportunities though.  Just be super careful.

Good luck!:thumbup:

Acetelyne torch.

That ended horribly, broken ~$40 piece of glassware and no bong.

I pretty much figured that was what was gonna happen though:shrug:
