I did a trial run with my first can. Only hammer the nail just barely over half-way up or the ice will break apart easier. As for the bottom, I just hammered it back as flat as I could. It wasn't perfect, but the tea light still sat in there fairly evenly. Hope this helps! I tried these tonight and my bottoms were bulged as well. I did a trial run with my first can.

Even if I don't fill my can all of the way to the top with water, the bottom is bulging out when it freezes. I am so disappointed. I really wanted to do this. I must be doing something wrong.
