Abstract:
Pads, for cutting thin glass on machines designed for thicker glass, are provided with variable viscoelasticity. In further examples, methods of cutting a thin sheet of glass on a machine designed for thicker glass include the step of placing a pad between a working surface and the sheet of glass. In still further examples, methods of forming a scribing mark on a sheet of glass include the step of placing a compressible pad between a sheet of glass and a working surface.
