I have seen some at a friends house, they are cool and embrace the idea of recycling. Like a corona bottle but the top cut off and polished smooth. But she got hers at a market and i don't know where I could take them to get done, I am seeing broken glass everywhere... needs glass cutters... ???Can I safely make glasses from washed beer and spirit bottles?
yes, and actually kind of easy. They sell bottle cutters for that task. Just make sure the bottles are clean and not cracked. After using the bottle cutter, just use fine sand paper, a 400 grit, than use a finer 800-1200 grit to polish the top rim where you cut.

What is the best paint to use on glass? How do you make it where you can wash the glasses?
Sherwin Williams sells a paint called TileClad. It,s a 2 part epoxy paint that has superior bonding strength and durability. It dries harder than concrete. It's a bit messy and not the easiest paint to work with though.What is the best paint to use on glass? How do you make it where you can wash the glasses?
If you are willing to hand wash, the enamels used on models will stand up fairly well, especially if you thoroughly clean the glass with soap and water before painting and then wipe it down with denatured alcohol for best adhesion.
If you want it as tough as commercial glasses and bottles, then you have to use real enamels which are glass based glazes that are fired onto the glass.

Everytime i wash dishes in the dishwasher they come out with nasty spots all over the glasses,what do i need?
jet dry.
you probably have hard water and it leaves deposits.
either get jet dry or dry them by hand.Everytime i wash dishes in the dishwasher they come out with nasty spots all over the glasses,what do i need?
I no longer have a dishwasher. Although, when I did I used a product called Diamond Brite. It was amazing. I stopped using the dishwasher becasue of the spots, film, etc. When i get another dishwasher I will use that product again.Everytime i wash dishes in the dishwasher they come out with nasty spots all over the glasses,what do i need?
If they are water spots, you need Jet Dry or another rinse agent. But if there is powder residue or food residue you may be using too much detergent. The soap suds can't be rinsed away and they leave food particles and detergent residue on your glasses.
Do you have hard water? You may need a water softner.
Mine did the same.
Jet dry and maybe a different detergent.
Try some jet dry.student loan

The rubber 'feet' were washed away in the dish washer.Where can I buy the little protection studs for my Glass table mats. They were lost during washing them.?
I'm not sure what shops sell them but this seems to be the product you are looking for, they're called ';bump on rubber feet'; which might help you in making enquiries. The website is a specialist craft supplier for everything to do with glass etc. so you might have to order online:Where can I buy the little protection studs for my Glass table mats.

Is it legal in NY for a 16 y/o to be behind the bar only washing glasses?
Does someone have to be with me to supervise?
If so, how old does the supervisor have to be? Is it legal in NY for a 16 y/o to be behind the bar only washing glasses?
That doesn't sound like a great place for a 16 yr. old. I do know that we have people of all ages running their own business with my company, even my 6 yr. old gets a paycheck every month, maybe it's a little safer for you.
Let me know if you would like some info to look at, I can e-mail it to you. Just e-mail me at jvaracalli@verizon.net.

Why is it that everytime I wash my cups/glasses in the dishwasher...?
...they come out looking clean and dry and everything, but when you fill it up with water you see suds in the water??
I've tried using different brand detergents, but it still comes out like this. This never happened before.
Please advise.Why is it that everytime I wash my cups/glasses in the dishwasher...?
Maybe the rinse aid.Why is it that everytime I wash my cups/glasses in the dishwasher...?
It's possible that you are putting too much detergent in the dishwasher, so you get some residue on the glasses,cups, etc. You could also put the dishwasher on a different cycle. I always have mine on the normal setting, but I think that a higher setting exists.
maybe your cups/glasses is just the wrong time of material.It might be one of those cheap ones,they are rubbish and you cant really do anything with them.Maybe try using a different cup,see if the same thing happens ,if yes then there is something wrong with your water.
You should use a rinse aid, like Jet-Dry, if you are not already. It makes a big difference. Most dishwasher makers recommend it.
