What wizardry turns empty bottles into the greatest water pipes within the 9 realms?
First, every bottle is thoroughly sanitized. Then it is drilled by hand with a diamond whole saw and sanded around the perimeter to allow for better bonding with the adhesive. The 18mm female stem/slide is carefully tacked into place. then a 1.25” flexible rubber grommet is shaved down to create a parallel adhesive surface. After all open gaps are filled with flexible glue, the well is created and back-filled with a liquid bonding adhesive ensuring no gaps between the bottle and the stem. Depending on the design, most water pipes are fitted with flexible tubing secured by an additional grommet for a mouthpiece. When everything is fully cured, pressurized air is forced into the bottle to ensure perfect seals.
