has anyone had any problems with fusing bottles together then Slumping them into a kool form ? Any certain bottles brands to avoid ?

I was thinking of putting a hole bunch of (Rolling Rock) bottles together and slumping them in a wavey mold (bulls eyes)

Any suggeestions or comments on this before I might waste my time ?

Thanks Tyler

Hey Tyler,
Only thing is Rolling Rock bottles have paint on them- might be nasty or even toxic fumes- I'd use paintless bottles. I've done fun stuff w/ Balvenie scotch bottles- nice shapes!
Go for it- worst case scenario they break.

Fusing bottles from the same brand might work, but my guess is different brands won't survive the fuse. Compatibility will be a problem.

I wouldn't try to sell anything I fused like this. You just don't know what's going to happen. Fun to play with but that's about it in my view.

Tyler,

You can definitely fire together Skyy Blue malt liquor bottles. They are all made by the same manufacturer -- same coe.

As for Rolling Rock -- no problem melting them but I've never put them together.

As for beer bottles, look around the rim on the bottom. There is a code which tells who made the bottle. Try to keep "codes" with "codes." I learned this the hard way with Heineken. Heineken has about five different manufacturers. Keep likes with likes.
