so ive priced out glass at a fewplaces and as someone suggested glacier glass....well no...
prices ive gotten from a couple other places just for main 23 1/2 x 72 where 195.00 and 175.00. for the 3" by 72 was 33.00 and 25.00 per piece

now glaciers cost 463.00 for the 23 1\2 x 72 and 400.00 for the 3" x 72 all made from 1/2 glass

i think glacier is out of the running lol so.. moral of the story dontbuy glass from glacier lol

I could probably get the euro brace stripes cut here for you & send them on the hound to you.

If I can get a tank & euro strips up to Yellowknife I am sure I can get euro's to you but I don't think a pup would be to happy getting stuffed in the box to

Am I missing something? the braces can be cut for either $25.00 or $33.00 right? Don't trash the city, so not cool.

yes thats what i was quoted but then they turn around and say thier supplier refuses to cut the braces due to the thickness of glass. thus saying yes this is the cost tease tease but you cant have it. sucker.. its really frustrating. i can get the big sheet no problem.. but noone wants to cut the bracing.

yet tanks are being built with thinner glass as filler. and tank builders seem to be able to do it
