what is the easiest way to cut glass without a glass cutter?
does the flaming string really work? ive seen it on youtube but to scared to try it!
There is a way to cut glass, but most of the time, we break it. That is, we break it along a line that WE want. When you score a piece of glass (scratch the surface), that weakens the glass along that line. When we break it, it tends to break along the weakest area... which is where the scratch was. The glass cutter actually makes a little scratch and makes the glass weaker right at that point.
Using a diamond drill or a grinding stone, you can shape glass into some odd shapes that you can't get with breaking it. But these are special tools, and most people don't have them available.
When you heat the glass, it will expand. With those flaming strings, you are heating the glass right at a concentrated point. When you tap on the glass, or put cold water on it, it will break right at the weakest point.. in this case, where it was heated. The flaming string is not as accurate as the score mark, but will do in most cases.
