Hi Tommy
I used a hot air gun and gently heated a small spot until I was able to get a scraper under it then worked out from the starting point. It was easy enough, if in doubt go slowly at it and dont force the scraping, it will just dig into the wood. wait until the heat does its job and soften the glass. DONT heat one point, keep the heat moving in the local area.
I get the feel that a northern contingent of strip builders will be landing in Sneem soon.lol

Id be happy to pop down to see how youre getting on and if I can help I'd be more than happy to do so. Its always easier to make mistakes on some elses boat than your own lol (only joking)
