I have searched the internet and found various recipes of fake glass, the one I liked best was this:You need 1/2 cup of water, 1 3/4 cup of white sugar,1 tbsplight corn syrup. The recipe is great but when I try to make it to a bottle everything goes bad. I tried to make a mold of an old plastic bottle and I tried a mold of plaster. The sugerglass sticks to the mold and it's impossible to seperate it from the mold. when I use the plasticbottle the hot suger just burns through  So is there anybody out there that know how to make fake bottles. Thanx, pardon my english I'm a swede |

You should use a silicone mold, and maybe strengthen it with a plaster mother mold.
A really good book on mold making is "The Prop Maker´s Molding And Casting Handbook" by Thuston James. If you´re interested in fx and breakaway casting buy it.
It´s difficult to make a bottle from sugar glass, I´ve found it much easier to make from thermoplastic resin. I posted a thing about this subject a few months ago where I tried to explain one technique involving an air pump. I think the topic was the same; breakaway bottles.
I also promised to get back w/ some pictures of the technique, sorry haven´t had time.Pardon my laziness, I´m from Finland. Klade
