Topic: Borosilicate Glass

I'm looking for a good source for some 12" x 12" BS glass.  All I can find are smaller pieces.

If you build it they will come. Then they will make fun of it, tell you it's not worth doing and go home and try to copy you.
If a picture is worth a thousand words then being there is worth a thousand pictures.

+ 1 for mCmaster Carr. not a discount store by any means but fast shipping huge inventory and depending on your location you may get overnight service for UPS ground rates. I know I do on most orders.
