I was under the impression that ALL glass is UV shielded so I was planning to go to my local glass shop and get a piece cut to place under my DEs. Is this not correct?

If not, how does one get this UV glass from Home Depot? You mean I need to go buy a halogen light there and somehow extract the glass from it, rendering this new light useless, so I can put this glass into my DE pendant? How will I find the right size/thickness of this UV glass at Home Depot? All the halogen lamps I've seen there are small desk lamps with tiny little UV shields on them.

Help!!
