To the edge of the glass turned out as evenly as possible, it is necessary to cut. While cutting hold the glass cutter vertically against the glass, pressing it on top of the index finger. Spend a glass cutter along a smooth rail or adhesive tape. Start cutting from the far end. Keep a glass cutter on a uniformly pressing a surface. Spend only once. Before you break the glass, put at the end of the incision matches. Gently tap with a hammer on a cut, so it turns into a smooth break off the handle.

Start to prepare the glass along its edge. Work very carefully, especially with thin material. To get a straight edge, move the glass back and forth across the surface of the bar. Constantly rinse the tool in the prepared composition.

For this operation, use the emery old stones and old files, as in the process of grinding the bars formed by the scratch, and the file blunts.
