Hey Marcingo, I just picked some up at the Rock Hound shop in Victoria ,so you should be able to get it at place that sells tumbling supplies .
They will sell small 2ounce packs for $ 1.55 or pretty nearly any amount you want.
I am going to try it for removing hardwater marks from a tank ,nothingelse seems to move it . Sounds like a good tip.
Thanks Kronk

Marcingo, You know the stores that specialize in all different types of semi-precious stones that can be polished to a fine gloss ? They also sell little machines that you can put unpolished stones in with an abrasive powder that rotates and tumbles the stones together making them smooth. It is called lapidary .
Maybe try these places.

Also be sure not to overheat the glass to much in one spot. I work for a window and door company, I had glass "thermal crack" once. Then you have a bigger perdictment (sp)

Just my 2 cents

One other caution, with similar products if you spend too much time buffing in one area you can get a wierd concave spot in the glass that looks like your staring through sombody elses glasses, probably not a big deal but something to be aware of.

about the heating, do I have to heat the glass? I was under the impression that I could just get a dremmel, fleece pad and the CO and just buff it cold.

I will definitely do my best to not stay in one spot, hopefully it doesnt take too long to buff out because these scratches arent very deep at all but they still bother me.
