Cut my glass
The 4" hole is for a filter sock..... I don't feel there is an issue with it being difficult or not its just a matter of finding a holesaw.
clamping a piece of plywood with the same size hole as your a cutting to the glass as a jig is the easiest way not to skip off your mark and scratch up your glass. ive also seen the diamond jigsaw blades. maybe drill a bunch of holes and cut out whats left after. I have called a few glass shops and they all have retarded answers and finally admit they don't even have that size and don't have anyone skilled enough to cut it with a scribe wheel. Glass experts my ass More like order and markup experts

Why not just go with acrylic?
You can get around the bonding problem by creating a ledge for the acrylic to sit on. A few small pieces of glass siliconed in place around the space. Then you can put the acrylic piece in and just use silicone to seal it in. That's the way my sump was build and hasn't been an issue.

I could go acrylic but im kinda OCD with stuff and would like glass. Heck if i could afford i would build everything from stainless steel.

Well after calling around to some more glass shops I found one that will "try" to cut the hole @ 90$hr shop rate and if they break the piece I still pay the shop time and go home with broken glass. wow now that's customer service at its finest

Well who would have thought that an old dull starrett wood/metal holesaw and a handful of sand/water would grind through glass.... My $10 powerfist drill definitely paid for itself today. The hole is a bit oversized but I put a bead of silicone around the inside and the sock fits nice n tight.
Success has been achieved for $0 POST CLOSED!
