Default How to smooth a rough glass edges into a sparkling smooth surface.

Is it possible to cut glass so straight and flat that when you slide the
glass in
parallel that you cannot see the seems. I am building a magician's prop
and I need to cut glass so that when I slide them pass each other the
seems will fit so precisely that they can become invisible. The Japanese
have done it. Also, I've separated glass into two pieces and join
them temporary and the seems have disappeared. The trick now is to
be able to slide them in parallel without showing the seems. This means
that to two glass will have to extremely straight and smooth.

What kinds of tools can I use to lap the edge of the glass to get it so
smooth and flat that the surface of the edge of the glass is as smooth the
face of the glass itself?

Thanks



Ahh this is a much bigger trick than the trick you'll be using this for
is my guess.
