Just wondered if I could do this myself. Would come in handy as I am on limited income and sure could use the glass. Thanks so much for help. Mary

You can use it to make beads if you wish, just don't mix the glass from different bottles and you'll be fine. sure it means spacers only but hey ya gotta make spacers anyhow.

btw most bottle glass is in the 80-89 coe.
