Correct work with glass

Cutting glass - a task that, in principle, is simple, but requires care. Also, there are some subtleties that will qualitatively perform this task.

We will describe how best to cut glass roller glass cutter. Straight cuts are made with a ruler, but figured - a pattern cut from plywood.

Glass must be put on a flat and hard surface (better - wood).

Before working roller moisten necessary in kerosene or turpentine (can take the engine oil). They say that it is best to mix kerosene with oil. It's also possible to grease with a brush on the glass strip from kerosene / oil / turpentine through the intended cut, just in this case, try not to overdo it, so that the fluid does not come under the line (otherwise it will be harder to keep smooth).

Steklorez keep straight perpendicular to the glass, and with light pressure on the line of conduct or pattern. Pressure must be such that during stekloreza could hear a characteristic crack (some may call it a scratch), like sparks. If cod not, then cut it turns out poor quality.

After the cut is made by him with the back of the need to tap a hammer, and the glass should break up at the place of the cut. If the cut line, then you can just move the window to cut retreated from the edge of the table to the millimeter, and easy to put pressure on the protruding edge.

The sharp edges of the glass must be removed with a file or fine needle files (once I used sandpaper - also not bad).

Small sections of curly netolstym (5 mm) of the glass can be done by conventional scissors underwater. Pre-draw water resistant marker circuit, lower the glass and the water and scissors cut. Water does not propagate cracks and the glass does not cleave.

Drilling glass can be and the usual drill, although, of course, the best special. Before drilling around the desired point of erecting a small tub of clay, and to pour a little turpentine, kerosene or oil (or a mixture of oil and kerosene). Can be drilled.

To drilling the glass does not jump off the desired point, stick to the glass tape, and drill already on it.
