Hi,
I'm hoping that someone can give me some suggestions for cutting scrap double strength glass. I picked up a few pieces from the local junkyard. They look to be pieces from a stereo cabinet - about 48"x12" and almost a quarter of an inch thick. I'm trying to cut the pieces to size so that I can use them as tops for some fish tanks. Mainly I need to do long cuts to split them in half. I was hoping to get this done at the local hardware store, but was told that the glass that I have is double strength and that I'd have to go to a glass shop. The glass shops are charging about $6/cut - that's more than I paid for the individual pieces of glass. I had one person reccomend that I use a tile cutter for this job. Anyone have experience using a tile cutter to cut double strength glass or have a better/cheaper method? Thanks in advance for any help. J. |
