Re: SB: Tempered Glass recyclable- sorta OT

[Charmaine R Taylor <tms@northcoast.com>]

Melvin- on that tempered glass, I just had a huge sunroom sheet stress 
blow out into lovely " diamonds", and whilst cleaning them up remembered 
that "cullett" glass is used in gardening now, sort of as decorative 
 bark...could this be done with this safety glass, as it is not sharp?

any cons on using it?

and the glass man who gave me a bid to replace it  said the same thing 
as you did-- one molecule in the glass structure shifts after that 
freezing process, and "blooie" it turns to diamonds.
which is one reason the glass man does NOT give a warranty on  the 
safety glass...but does on the double pane stuff...

(here in Arcata CA we have a world famous company that takes old glass 
and recycles it into beautiful dishware, bowls, plates etc...hummm maybe 
they can make me a wine glass ot beer stein ot sumthin?)
