These pads are actually made for granite so I though.......what the hell give it a try. I did try it out on a scape piece of glass before I went anywhere near my big pieces.

If you knew what I paid for these large pieces of glass ( one is starphire ) you might understand plus edge polishing was not an option with the glass supplier.

Do you think you could bevel them using the same method?

Did you free hand it or create a jig worthy of Norm Abram?

OH HELL NO!!!! Personally I don't think it would be a good system to use on a viewing surface. Only reason I did this to the edges to to get rid of the sanded rough surface so that the silicone would bond properly.
