The plastic modules are most promising. Glass has to be cut before it is tempered. I fully expect that it will go to a bizillion pieces if even nicked on the edge. Bill Dorsett SunwrightS 1715 Leavenworth Manhattan, KS 66502 Home/Office 785/539=1956 Cell 785/564-2583 wmdors...@sbcglobal

Mick, If you have a junk module, I'm fairly sure you can cut it up by using a lapidary saw - the wet diamond slow-speed kind that gem and mineral people use. I mean I'm sure you can cut it. Fairly sure it will not go to pieces. I'm not sure there's much to be learned by looking at it, but
