Thanks so much for the tip about doing the drilling in the laundry tub! I never would have thought of it, and it made it so much easier to have the steady water supply.
I received one of these circa 2002. The lights just now burned-out. Unfortunately, the hole is only large enough for the cord and the string lights inside are the pre-LED christmas lights. Is there a way to safely break the seal that holds-together the two halves of the glass block?
Thank You for responding .... yes, whomever made it took time to push-in one light at a time; but the string is the 'old' lights (before led) and though 'were probably easy to push-in -- are pretty much impossible to get back out - ha! I've decided to get an updated glass block from a craft store. Thank You again so very much!
Hello! It really depends where you live and the type of stores in your area. I’ve found them at Lowe’s home improvement store in the hardware section. They sold them in small quantities, singles or pairs I think. I bought a large bag from Ali Express when I was doing a larger batch. The hole caps are the same size as the drill. 19mm if I remember correctly.

Thanks for watching, glad it was helpful!
best tutorial on glass block I encounter. Thank you for the link for the product. Going to gave it a try again to make glass black light.
Thanks for the positive feedback and thanks for checking out the video. Good luck on your own project!
I accumulated some antique glass blocks from the 1800's. Would this method still work, or would the glass break? 😅
You provided such a detailed tutorial on glass block lights. It was very impressive. Tfs!
+GROWing In Lov3 Thank you! Lots more projects in progress.

As far as I know you couldn’t open the seam of the block. But they had to get the lights in, so it must be possible to get the lights out.

@@suzecurtis1 sometimes a new block is easier!
Those look amazing!!!
+sharon gunawan Thanks! We have a bunch of new designs. Thinking of trying to hydro dip a block.
Where can I buy the hole stoppers?
And hoe many mm they are?

Where do you get the cap to plug the hole
Try home improvement stores. I’ve found them at Lowe’s, but when I was making a lot of these I bought them from Ali Express.
Hello beautiful, how would you mail them out please thank you
