Shop that cuts glass?

[sn8kbit]

OK, Home Depot no longer cuts glass. I have to get 4 11 7/8" x 13" sheets for my DIY 29L sump. Anyone have a suggestion other than running out to Glass Cages?

That and the light fixture, and the zoo frag tank will be up and running!

Baker glass or Nashville glass will do it. If that's for baffles 1/4 acrylic works just as well FWIW. More expensive but you can cut it, make stuff out of it etc........

Forgot to mention it is going to be for baffles. I may try the acrylic route, but my list of "things to do" lately keeps growing. That chiller is still sitting here in the office.........LOL

If its closer I use Lewis Glass in Franklin. Have got lots of tops and some baffels cut there. I think I used a standard 11x14 picture frame glass or some standard pre cut and packaged glass from HD for picture frames for the baffels in a 29. They were real cheap and a little thin but worked alright. Measure the width of the tank and give it a look, could save some money.
FWIW I used a small blob of 2 part epoxy on either side of the glass to hold the baffels in place while the silicone dried. The epoxy held fairly quickly. I don't know if there is an easier way but it worked OK for me.

Any glass shop will be happy to custom cut glass for you, assuming you buy it from them. Normally the cutting charge is quite small. This is what they do for a living. Check the yellow pages, there all over.
