As part of a PIC project (honestly !!) I need to have some
components made of glass. I've contacted a company who
could cut glass with high pressure water/garnet but they
can't guarantee the work or a low spoilage figure. They
suggested polycarbonate, and I suggested right back at 'em
that maybe they could cut a mould out of steel plate and I
fill it with molten glass. If that fails they will have the cutting
file for the metal and I'd get them to do it in polycarbonate.

Has anyone in this collective brain of ours any experience,
suggestions, tips etc for moulding glass ? Getting a smooth
surface on the top (it's a thin disk) could be tricky. I guess I'll
have to slide some sort of metal plate on the liquid surface

TIA
