: Sealing the edges with a propane torch worked really well with
: the 4 oz tape I used for the deck-hull seam on my boat. I could barely
: unroll the tape without the edges unraveling. After sealing I had no
: problems with strings.

what the heck are you talking about?? sounds very cool!!

so are you saying that you melt the edges of the glass a little bit to stop unravelling?? does this destroy the coatings/sizings? will the glass wet out transparent on the edge? could you in fact then have a complex shape and sorta melt the glass onto it???

how easy to screw up? gotta try all this out.
