Old Koreelah Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 Modern glass can be plurry tough. In motor vehicle rescue operations we learned long ago that a hammer or big rock probably won't break a window- a tiny punch in the corner will.

Marty_d Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 Pardon my ignorance... but "Prince Rupert's Drop" sounds more like a painful disease of the nether regions. Is that a specialised form of glass? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Perry Posted April 3, 2018 Author Share Posted April 3, 2018 Pardon my ignorance... but "Prince Rupert's Drop" sounds more like a painful disease of the nether regions. Is that a specialised form of glass? Without recourse to Wikiwotsit, I guess it's a glass blowers' term for a little pearl of molten glass with a stringy tail on it. Have to be honest, I'd heard the term, but had no idea what it referred to Marty ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
