Re: Help scratch aquarium glass! Advice needed!!!!



Scratches even cause aluminum or steel and most other materials to
develop into a crack eventually......I wish I had a dollar for every
piec eof plexiglass I had to reject in the military due to a small
scratch as well as full sheets of aluminum with a minor
scratch.............glass is no different, its just much more fragile.
The only thing that scratch has going for it in is favor is its not at
the edge, which would make it more prone to propagating into a crack.
