What are you using to make the pattern marks with? Probably the old
"Sharpie" trick. Well, there's a much better way. Draw your pattern
piece on a piece of clear contact paper. Cut it out and place the
contact paper on the glass, sticky side on the glass, burnish it in
place and saw away. Works great on grinders as well.

Ok I need help. I have a wire saw and I think I might like it but I cant
keep the marks for my pattern on the glass long enough to get anything cut
out with out going nuts. I have even tried using spry mount to put the
pattern in the glass.
Any ideas would be welcome.
Thanks
Mouse
