Identifying
Glass |
|
|
There are various kinds of glass.
In fact, the range of colour and texture is fascinating.
Stained
glass is usually categorized by the manufacturer. But before
choosing a manufacturer, you must learn what to look for when
choosing glass. This will determine which manufacturer you need
to go with.
When choosing
glass, you have to look for…
Surface
Characteristics:
What the front surface looks like.
Back of the Glass:
What the back of the glass looks like but more importantly what
it feels like.
Cuttability (to coin a word):
How easy it is to cut the glass.
Breakage:
How easy the glass breaks.
Grindability:
How easy it is to grind the glass on a standard grit head,
that's slightly used and worn. Not all glass grinds the same
way.
Foilability:
How easy is it to foil the glass.
