Hi. Does anyone have a source of thick clear glass? need about 20 pieces about 6" x8" in either 1" or 1.5 inches thick. Can be float. Not cost effective to make, plus I don't want lines from sheet glass.
Thanks
Dick

Re: thick glass
There is 1" float, made somewhere offshore. I don't know a source. For 1.5", maybe you can get some Schott from HIS?

Re: thick glass
i've been fusing two pieces of 3/4 together to make 1.5" then cutting with a tile saw and fire polishing to achieve a thicker blank. You can see a fine line but it's not too noticeable.

Re: thick glass
I've got a bunch of the Dalle de Verre glass in storage. I'm not sure if I have 20 clear, but I also have transparent blue, green and red. I can run up there mid-week and post some photos and let you know what I've got if your interested.
