Default Deflasking Cattleya

I got a Xmas gift from Fred Clark.A flask of Cattleya.

It is in a plastic square coke bottle with very small 3/4 opening with cap.

How do you get the seedlings out?

Saw videos online but they all where glass bottles(break with hammer) or tupperware plastic container with lid.

Thanks

Will taking the cap off and filling with lukewarm water and pouring it out work or do I have to use a razor blade and cut it in half?

Plastic thin-walled bottle?

If yes, poke a hole in the side, then use scissors to cut the top off the bottle.
