Default Another question for the lapidarians among us

I just saw in the "cutting thin tiny glass parts" thread that there
seems to be a few lapidarians here. So I have another question:

I have a glass lid for a kitchen baking pan that has a flaked chip
on one edge, and I'd like to figure out a way to smooth it so that
my wife wouldn't have to throw it out. I thought I'd take a Dremel
tool and some suitable abrasive and smooth it and then try to polish
it a bit. What kind of abrasive would be good for that?

Black sandpaper.


+1. I'd avoid the dremel or other hard bits with glass. It likes to
shatter pretty easily and a hard stone could hit just the right freq
to shatter it.

Chuck a 3/8 dowel in your VSR with wod sandpaper on it. Quick fix.
