I have been trying to cut some custom sized picture frames from some

same results I see in video demos or web instructions that I should.


I have a friend that has made his living over the past 41 years repairing
and reproducing stained glass windows. He always lubricates the blade
before scoring. He dips the blade into a jar with a rag soaked in kerosene.
He says any oil will do. And that they sell glass cutter lubricant, though
I did not find any on doing an Amazon search.
