thanks Joe, I'm afraid I'm getting Partzheimers again and forgetting if someone had answered this one. i don't think I got an answer from sweet to the affirmative about s-glass wetting clear. Just another reminder that there's no free lunch, it's great stuff, it costs too much, and it isn't as clear,,still good enough for me though. I like how it gives without fracturing as easily and the fractures don't travel as far,,of course any damage worth having will still make a mess of things
