Stained Glass & Mosaics

Question about scoring glass

16 years ago

I hope all the lurkers and new people see this ..... I've been doing glass for about 8 years and I'm still asking questions & learning ! I saw a demo on the morton system about cutting glass in little squares for mosaics. Did I See right ? --- they scored the glass all vertically - then scored it all horizontally . The scores criss crossed each other . Now - I know you're not supposed to go IN a score line twice ... but across is ok ? Is this how you do it ?

Yes, feels sorta odd at first, but it does work. I do notice more teensy slivers on my glass surface, but I just score, turn, score and start snapping. Throw in the tumbler for 30-40 minutes and they're ready to go.
