Wow, If you like I will cut it for you. I have been in this trade for 15 years and I am not so keen on just giving my trade away. As for lighter fluid, You would want to use methyl hydrate. As it burns faster, but you only use this for laminate glass to burn off the plastic in the middle. You will need a heavy float cutter, cutting oil, cold chisel and a hammer. shoot me a pm and we can talk. Thanks

Thats of course AFTER scoring it, and only scoring it once. I REALLY hope that part was too obvious to mention for everyone who read it :p

I have tried cutting !/2" glass in the past With a crappy wheel cutter from Home Depot. Just say it did not turn out will. What is a good glass cutter and where to get one?

Mine from HD works just fine, did the clean the **** outta that glass first? Wheel spin freely? Any nicks in the wheel? She's gotta be perfect.
