Description:

The Metal Bottle Mouth Forming Tool is a rugged, metal forming tool made for shaping consistent bottle mouths in hot glass. It is designed for production bottle making, where repeatability matters, and it helps you form a finish that will accept a standard press fit bottle cap. This tool is used late in the forming process, after the vessel body is established, when the neck and mouth are being brought to final size and shape.

How it is used:

• Heat the neck and mouth area of the bottle evenly to a workable temperature.
• Use the tool to form and true the bottle mouth to a consistent finish size.
• Reheat as needed to keep the glass moving without chilling or tearing the lip.
• Check fit and symmetry as you work so the mouth stays even and round.
• Fire polish the lip as needed before annealing.
