Having been in the glass industry for 20+ years I figured it was time to share some of the things I have come to learn. Things started for me when I was just a kid working for my father in the family business. When my father decided to close his business I quickly realized I needed to be my own boss and start my own company. It has been a challenging and rewarding adventure to say the least. We are striving to share good quality information in an easy to understand way to help our viewers with everything from DIY projects, maintenance, making sure they have the right contractors/subcontractors in there home, and just a general and sometimes detailed knowledge of glass in there home or business. We hope the information shared helps you make great decisions for you projects!

How to remove the caulk gun
I’ve tried over and over to wipe my glass table can’t seem to get rid of the for lack of a better word cloudiness. It’s almost like the table is oily the streaks appear in the motion I wipe like circles. I’ve washed it with soup and finishes off with glass cleaner but it just won’t work
I had same problem, took off glass and just cleaned underneath and voila
I watched this video at school and now I'm in detention because this video had the word 🔫 in the title.
Shower curtains for the win in all hardwater areas. Very hard to maintain shower doors in my area as the water, even soft water, etches the glass over time.
How to clean in between of a top tempered glass wooden table. ?
Music is so annoying!
Do you have a video on how to safely remove those customizable shower doors? Without breaking it…

The coating I have ia no longer clear. How do I clean it
The Glass company I am having make my shower enclosure charges almost DOUBLE for Starphire glass over “traditional” glass, in the same 3/8” thickness. 1.68 times as much money for the Starphire to be exact. The quote for a 62”x77.75” side panel, 28”x77.5” door and 9.75”x77.75” return panel based on square footage is $2314 for Traditional 3/8” versus $3892 for Starphire.. Am I being ripped off, or does Starphire really cost 1.68x as much?!
I have a project with similar dimensions, and I have the same question after a similar quote!
@@jmpage2 I called another local glass company. They quoted me $3550 for the same job and offered 15% off for a total of $3017.50. I showed the first company this quote and asked if they could come down at all on their price. Instead the just offered to refund my deposit.. So I’m going with the 2nd company. The second company is bigger and buys more Starfire glass, so I think they can get a better price on it. I spoke to a guy in the glass business, who is located in Chicago, and he says the prices in Phoenix, where I am located, are high for Starfire compared to Chicago, based on both my quotes..
@@Komet163B - Hey, I'm also in Phoenix and just got a quote for Starfire that was 1k more than clear. Which company did you end up going with? I'd like to get a quote from them. Thx!
Chainsaw Chan!
Thanks for info
Use a torch dummy
Woah that's alot of caulk
I purchased a Kohler shower door with water resistant coating on it. I paid a good bit for the door. However, it is much worse after a shower then my Kohler shower doors that do not have the water resistant coating on them. The water sticks to the shower door. It seems to stay wet forever and then is left with cloudy spots. Even after one shower. If I don't take a shammy and completely dry the shower door after every single shower, it looks horrible.
Can't wait to try this one out, and I hope it works for my cloudy glass table.
Glass guy when are you going to upload again
Why did it break down inadequate drainage or blockage changing unit does not solve proble
Why can't I use the window's original glass if not broken? What is the advantage of the "new" cut glass? So wasteful!
Which repellent /coating products would you recommend?? US here.
Not helpful
Yeah, I learned I should "do research."
Hello, I nicked my glass top by accident, it is about three quarter inches thick. Any idea how to fix it? Thanks, everyone.
What about the underside of a glass table?
Is PVB application better than EVA 4 films when it comes to glass used as swimming pools walls. Thank you.
Good
How do you recommend cleaning treated glass?
What a boring vid
Dumb ad😊
How to clean the underside of the glass without taking the glass off the table? Because I can’t take off mine
How about making the window single pane? In Indian sub-continent, double pane windo glass is hardly used.
What a load of shit…i am puchasing shower glass at a small fraction of what this guy is quoting
Just what I needed to know; thanks!
Lol 😂
What a waste of time.... We already knew that the window was leaking.. watch our commercial to hire us... WASTE OF TIME
Nice Caulk!!!
I admit, the only reason i am here is because i want to make a mod for a zombie game that adjusts glass strenght, because there is no way some glass panels should break from mere weak punches (i guess)
Thank you! I haven't used one for decades and thought I knew how, but it wasn't working. So I looked it up, and you had the perfect video. Turns out I doubted myself because it wasn't working right away, but I just needed to be patient. Your video gave me the confidence to just continue what I was doing to get it started. Bet you didn't think such a small video would be such a big help, but it was! Thank you! 🙏💙
What about when the door being hold by the shims it's the only acces to loosen the screws on the inside of the shower?
How would you remove hinge stuck to the glass with allen range screw?
Thank you. This is my first step to consider walk-in shower.
Thank you. Which repellent /coating products would you recommend for the UK?
Are there privacy options to give the open glass feel but not be so exposed?
Yes, *frosted* glass doors. That solves the privacy issue.
Several comments noting can’t see much of a difference. I have a Diamond coating but if I don’t squeegee after every shower,, I have hard water drops showing - so two days is the same staining as one day without coating - big deal. So add to your video. Prove to us that over time that there is a difference. Your demo does not show anything
Thanks for wasting everyone’s time you solved no problems. I’ll spend a big mound of money and you could just buy new windows. Thanks anyone knows that.
This was the most sexual tool video I’ve ever watched
This video helped me to clean my glass table thank you so much.
how do you seal the caulk after you are done with it -because you cut the tip of the caulk
How do you keep the shims from moving when you open the door to screw in on the other side

Any tips on a leaking shower door hinge, it's directly opposite to the shower head, hence direct water impact
