glass breaks curved, when scored straight
Answer You might need a new glass cutter. What you are describing is one of the problems dull cutters cause. If you're cutter is fairly new, you might be putting too much pressure on the cutter as you score. Try easing up. You only need to hear a faint zipper sound. If you see white powder in the score line or bits of glass flying up from the score line, you are definitely putting too much pressure on the cutter. If you're cutting strips, I'd suggest investing in a strip cutter. It would make cutting strips so much easier. You can get one for under $50. |

You can't imagine how much I wish I had found your incredible website before I spent many hundreds of dollars on lessons, dvd's, tutorials, etc. I can tell that everything I need to know can be found here. All I can say is "Thank You!" Larry
I can't thank you enough for this site. The new search feature is amazing and it makes it so easy to find exactly what I am looking for. Thank you again! Laurie
Your site is fantastic! I took a six week class four years ago and recently started again (after forgetting almost everything I learned!). I have to say that your site is excellent and I can't wait to practice the techniques you've shown. Scarlet
I'm a subscriber to your "Stained Glass Gems" and I just wanted to say THANK YOU for your wonderful site! This is by far the best glass site I've run across. I recently purchased your publication on Patina FAQ and it's very helpful for me... I like to have hard copies of info so I added it to my library. Suzanna |
