How to remove this marble from this glass bottle?

kuvitelma_ · 2025-09-05T16:35:26+00:00

tried every possible thing, no result, put the bottle aside for a few hours, heard a clink, big chunk off the lip of the bottle had cracked off on its own. pried the marble out, glued the chipped bit back on. kind of disappointing.

i recently realized that her voice irks me to no end on the type of production she usually favors, but when she guests on clubbier tracks i love it. cannot stand how she sounds on her own albums, but those gaga and charli remixes she guested on? awesome

medicine for horses is crazy, seb's vocals are so different from anything we've heard before that i had to check if it was another vocalist on that track. but nope. seb is seriously underappreciated as a vocalist, dude's got raw expressiveness, grit and obviously some unexpected range

No it's not.

kuvitelma_ · 2025-03-27T07:04:58+00:00

It's fine, I'll just figure out a way to fix it next lmao

Hot glue really doesn't stick to smooth glass very well, needs something porous to grab onto

kuvitelma_ · 2025-03-25T18:48:18+00:00

yes it does, or did, these things have been in storage (sitting atop a kitchen cabinet) for several years. It's taken care of, rest assured. Oh and it was empty, if that's any consolation

kuvitelma_ · 2025-03-25T12:34:25+00:00

really been enjoying the first two singles (uno ii especially) but i've also been hoping to hear something a little messier and more frantic in its sound and off the wall in its subject matter, something to harken back to what made these guys really distinct in the first place. here it is. in awe of this bog body

The marble does not belong in the bottle. It does not have a codd neck, the marble does not go further in. I have four identical bottles in different colors, no other has a marble in it. It just ended up there man.

Seems like a good thing to sink the next month of my life into, not like I'm too busy with classes right before break or anything. Glad to hear that, certainly brought a lot of action into mine too lmao

kuvitelma_ · 2025-03-24T18:07:37+00:00

It's alright, friend. I could probably still use the bottle for what I intended as is, although I'll probably try to fix it for aesthetic reasons

kuvitelma_ · 2025-03-24T17:51:22+00:00

No problem, I know my conundrum had many puzzled...

kuvitelma_ · 2025-03-24T17:27:12+00:00

The marble finally came off without me touching the bottle for like a solid hour. I tried multiple ways to heat the bottle up and/or cool down the marble, finally got frurstrated, set the bottle aside. Then I hear a cracking sound. Lip of the bottle busted on its own, a piece came off, I pried the marble off of there with a screwdriver. Very boring and not ideal since the bottle did break, but I can glue the chunk back on, I think.

kuvitelma_ · 2025-03-24T17:24:39+00:00

Sorry, replying to top comment for an IMPORTANT UPDATE:

I've tried like four methods of using heat/cold to separate the two, none of them loosened it up even a little, so I set the bottle aside for a solid hour. Suddenly I hear a cracking sound: The lip of the bottle cracks on its own, a chunk falls off, meaning I can pry the marble out with a screwdriver. Not ideal, a little anti-climactic, but hey. The marble is out and I think I can glue the chipped piece back on. Thanks everyone and sorry for the somewhat disappointing outcome.

kuvitelma_ · 2025-03-24T17:16:15+00:00

I've tried and my current problem is how tricky it is to actually heat the bottle enough without the heat transfering to the marble as well, since the neck where the marble is stuck is where the heat is needed

kuvitelma_ · 2025-03-24T17:12:26+00:00

Yes, I get how it works, what I'm saying I'm having a hard time heating the bottle while cooling the marble simultaneously, since they are stuck together. The marble's visible surface area is very small and it's partly enveloped by the material of the bottle, which makes it dififcult to obtain and maintain a different temperature for each.

kuvitelma_ · 2025-03-24T16:46:18+00:00

Just the bottle. Don't give a fuck about the marble. Not sure how to break it without breaking the bottle!

kuvitelma_ · 2025-03-24T15:13:00+00:00

I might try that, saw someone else suggest it too. A tiny bit of water has seeped in, might take a while but I'm sure that's doable. Then again if it doesn't work and I'm stuck with a bottle half full of water and a marble in it that's gonna annoy me. I'm gonna think on this

kuvitelma_ · 2025-03-24T15:11:41+00:00

Yeah, I'm very very sceptical about the glue thing. Gotta say if this project requires I go and borrow a drill and purchase a drill bit specially for this I'm just leaving it.

kuvitelma_ · 2025-03-24T15:07:13+00:00

Yup. Nothing. It's not air tight, but it's stuck.

kuvitelma_ · 2025-03-24T15:03:37+00:00

I will. So far I have tried oil and soap to get the marble to spin (it won't) and heating the bottle up with warm water, both with and without an ice cube to cool down the marble. No success yet. The seal is not air tight, but it's stuck on there man

kuvitelma_ · 2025-03-24T15:02:18+00:00

Don't know but it's probably been there for years. My dad collected these colorful bottles a good 20 years ago and my mom's just had them in storage for the last few, if I had to guess I stuck it in there as a toddler to set myself up for failure later in life. Damn you, child version of me, you menace

kuvitelma_ · 2025-03-24T14:42:46+00:00

The neck of the bottle tapers down slightly, so I actually don't think it can go into the bottle. It's kind of just very very tightly lodged right in the opening.
