Default Glass grinders--thanks to all.

Lauri brought up fire polishing. I'm wondering how much fire are we talking
about. I'm guessing more than my propane torch can supply.

Anyway, thanks again.




Firepolishing needs some 740-760 C.
With a propane torch that is enough to thermal shock the glass and
polsih away the sandblasting.

What I had in mind was to heat the blank *in kiln* to firepolish the
edges, then you can sandblast the picture.
