Use household ammonia/paper towels to clean glass. Mark exactly where
you want to cut the glass. Align a metal straightedge and glass
cutter. A little kerosene on the glass will help the scoring. Put a
1/2 drop of oil on the cutter wheel. Run the glass cutter ONE time
(on one side only) with a firm steady motion. It should sound like
ripping cloth. One method is to quickly snap the glass against the
table edge, holding one half firm. Sand w/320 grit sandpaper.
Gloves/eye protection recommended. Practice makes perfect.

Old glass doesn't cut near as well as new glass.
