I just know you're supposed to store glass upright. Not supposed to lay it down since it's more likely the break or crack that way. Best to keep it sitting on it's edge like it's carried in glass racks or glass trucks.

This sounds familiar. I've had more than one "talking to" about when I'll be moving some miscelaneous part from our living area and out into the garage :lol: I'm also known to polish wheels in our living room so that I can watch TV while I do it :roflbow::roflbow:

That would work except I'm drilling out all the spot welded seams on the vehicle's cab.
