Looking for someone to teach how to cut 1/2" glass.

Not sure about scoring the glass two or three times. I have been working with glass for over twenty years and I was always told - Never go over your score. It will give you a bad break and wreck your glass cutter as well.

Have heard the same thing one score equals clean break if you score over the same line more than once it can be a jagged cut. The same rule applys when cutting stone cheers

Definitely only score glass once. It's a lot easier if you have a glass cutting table but I did hear a trick once regarding cutting thicker glass. After scoring spread some lighter fluid over the scored area of the glass and lite it. Apparently that will snap it perfectly, never tried it myself just heard it's pretty common when the proper tools aren't available.
