Cd Glass With Scissors.
Many IONS may not be aware that
glass Cal nj under water, with
greatest to almost any shape. by
simply N b pair of shears or strong
scissors. order to insure success,
two points ast be attended to-first,
and most |ortant, the glass must be
kept quite Neci in the water while the
scissors are au> lied; and. secondly, to
avoid risk. it( Yer to begin the cut
ting BY taking small pieces at the
corners and along the edges. and to re-
duce the shape gradually to that re-
quired. for if any attempt is made to cut
the glass to the shape, as we would cut
. piece of cardboard. it viii be most
likely to break just where it is not
wanted. Some kinds of glass cut much
better than others; the softer glass is
the best for this purpose. The scissors
need not depend on the state of theedge
presented to the glass. When the
operation goes on well, the glass breaks
away from the scissors in small pieces
In a straight line with the blade. This
method OF cutting glass has often been
OF service, when q diamond has not
been at hand. for cutting ovals and sec.
ments. and though the edges are not as
smooth as might DO desired for some
purposes. it viii answer in many cases. |
The two hints given above. if strictly
followed. will always insure success
