@den9 Agreed. Mine just happened to have been half smashed in and unusable. You can't really see it in the video, but it was a little more than dented in my case.
@1111Davo1 I love the little dents, the thing with mine was (and I don't really think you see it to the full effect in the video) mine had a huge dent in the side that took a significant amount of volume from the bottle. I wouldn't do it for the little dents.
@mightysmurf I mentioned that you need to watch it carefully, because yes, ice does expand and will eventually break open the bottle. As I said, it doesn't really get out the small dents in the bottle, so you should only really be doing this if there is a huge dent in the bottle that virtually makes it unusable unless fixed. This is a last resort. As opposed to throwing out a damaged bottle, this would give it a second chance. You have to be extremely careful if you try this.
I wonder if doing this could cause the threaded ring in the neck to blow out. I know it's just pressed in and I'd worry this would press it back out. The dents are just part of the charm of using a Sigg and unless the dent was huge I don't think I'd risk trashing my bottle to remove small ones.
@DrunknShooter I definitely agree, it's not worth it unless you have a giant dent in it. In my case, there were three very large dents that were slightly difficult to see the size of in the video. Getting the small dents is "just part of the charm of using a Sigg". SO DON'T TRY THIS UNLESS THE BOTTLE IS TRASHED. THIS IS A LAST RESORT.
@ThePierski Hey, I did it and worked! I was very careful and checked in every hour (it took 3)that way it can't brake, the only issue was the bottom got a slightly round but I don't care the dent I wanted to fix is almost disappeared and does not leaks, thanks for the idea! If I made a writting mistakes please let me know 'cause I'm lerning...
I have a steel water bottle that had a dent. One day I filled it up with ginger ale. At first it was in the fridge and then I carried it with me. To my surprise the pressure from the carbonation straightened out the dent. I think that may work with aluminum bottles even better, because aluminum is more flexible. I would be very cautious with freezing steel bottle in the freezer, it may literally explode. If you can, do it outside in the winter, inside a box (to catch the projectiles:-)
I think when you freeze the bottle, the coating inside the bottle will start to crack and you will lose all the good abilities of a sigg bottle, like neutral smell/flavour, etc. I know it's too late to tell you know, but just a warning.
The coating is baked on and elastic, so it shouldn't crack UNLESS you freeze the water inside to the point where the bottle itself cracks. That's the major risk you take in freezing any water bottle (Nalgene, SIGG, Klene Kanteen etc.).
Of course, if you crack the bottle, then the lining, and the dents, are the least of your problems. :)
are dented sigg water bottles dangerous like dented cans? someone please answer, i dont want to stop using my sigg. i love it too much.

Destroyed my bottle.....

Thanks, I think it's at least worth a try. The bottle was wasted anyway. Now it's a usable bottle again.

@1111Davo1 Did you try it? How'd it turn out? I know for a fact with my luck I would destroy mine.
TheAnonHippie 1 year ago
@TheAnonHippie nah, i decided against it. the dents give it character.
btw, if you do it, dont fill it to the top. I'd work out what % increase from water to ice, then take that off the top.

I wouldn't recommend this. I tried it and it busted a crack down the entire side of my bottle.
