Reply to "Anyone make a laminated glass short racing windscreen for Speedster or 550"

WOLFGANG, Yes laminated glass has been around for quite a while. To cut laminated glass, you have to first cut one side and break along cut. Then flip glass over and cut exactly over your first cut and break along that cut. Now you pour a small amount of alchohol along the cut line and light with a lighter. This softens up the plastic between the two layers of glass just enough so you can flex the glass and cut throught the plastic with a razor blade. Then the edges of the glass are polished with a water-fed belt polisher. It's a dying art in the auto-glass industry. There are only a few of us old guys left in our company that know how to do it. It's primarily done for street rods, antique cars and old construction equiptment.
