Too wide to fit in my tumbler

[tigue710]

for 25 bucks you can have someone do it for you... thats the best bet Id say... I wouldn't force anything especially seeing the delicate shape of that bottle now... besides it slipping out easily because there is no rubber left to grip the bottle now anouther problem your going to have isnt even so much holding it in place but that your copper will get jammed up and break the bottle because the tube isnt big enough for it...

Taking off the vinyl stopple covering will cause extreme ware marks on the bottle. It will mess up the glass bad!

I have found that if you are afraid a bottle might come loose its a little safer to just tumble the outside of the bottle first so the bottle wont be so heavy in the tube. Then you can do the inside of the bottle later (I just wedge the bottle in the tube with foam and cloth to do that without even sealing it). Takes longer obviously but some things I dont want to risk breaking.
