That's why I gave up on putting holes in glass floats.
I think the blown glass just breaks so easy.
Kinda think it's the small air bubbles in the glass, they heat up
and then crack the globe.
You can not microwave blown glass for this reason.
I know this because I microwaved my wifes deperssion glass and got kinda depressed
when it cracked up in the microwave.
Plus when I did get one "good" hole cut their would be small cracks forming
around the edges of the hole that was cut.
I was afraid these cracks would soon git bigger and I would have one pissed off customer.
So I said enough of that.
But you are right there is a lot of money spent trying to get these lights or any art type
thing right.
Good luck!
Can't wait to see yopur Blowfish light.
