I seen this done at our County Faiir a good many years ago. If I remember right, they submerse the top portion of the bottle into hot sand. (could be wrong on that). for a short period of time, and then would just stretch the glass to what ever length they wanted. Someone else I am sure can give you a better explanation than I have. (in reply to Worldcupkeeper) Post #: 2
