  • any way you can cut like a 2 " tube off this way?

  • @DJPSILOCYBIN For short pieces you have to use the thermal cut method where you score the tube, place a drop of water on the score, then heat a small glass rod white hot and place it over the drop of water.

  • what are you using to score the glass with?

  • @hamboney9 A carbide knife made for scoring glass.

  • what is the purpose of the water on the score?

  • Some feel you get a cleaner break with less force by wetting the score.

  • I love the sign on your locker behind you, it speaks volumes!!

  • 2" lengthwise

  • @carcrusher420 Water, as being polar, quickly migrates to even the smallest dents in the score and aids in creating additional clean stress in the glass, so the whole thing breaks evenly.

  • thats a great tip!
