  1. Ok I have had lots of trouble with this, so now I am seeking help. HOW DO I DRILL A HOLE IN GLASS. When ever I attempt it the glass cracks. I was looking at the homemade contest and I see some nice glass ones. How did u guys make the hole in the glass with no cracks.

    -thanks
     
  2. Go slow and use a diamond tipped drill bit. Try putting water aroudn the hole to keep it cool.
     
  3. constantly pour, or have someone else pur water on it as your drilling
     
  4. Thank you now I can make some nice glass bongs :)
     
  5. i also heard that filling the peice with sand helps it not crack

    so
    1. diamond tip drill bit
    2. water on the drill site
    3. sand in the peice

    that should work
     
  6. this is how to do it. i've done it without a diamond tip before but it was really sketch and almost shattered, and ive shattered glass before going to fast and not keeping it wet enough.. be careful, dont get too impatient drilling, you have to wait for a nice quality hole.
     
  7. thanks indy
