Mostly it won't penetrate at all. Around the bottom, it will go
thru half-way (only) in places.


I have a "cake spatula" that I use to de-glaze glass.*

Use good gloves, working the tool between the glass and frame. Work
around the frame / glass. The idea is to separate the glass from the
frame. The spatula is flexible making it easy to work with.

Mine is 1 inch wide and 12 inches long -- looks like the middle one in
