Where to buy small circular glass disks.
| David Cambridge | 17/05/2015 10:51:13 |
| 252 forum posts 68 photos | I’d like to make a small fuel tank for my model engine – it will be very small and I’ll probably use 1 or 2 inches of copper pipe with a sight glass at one end. The trouble is, I’ve no idea where I can get a circular piece of glass just 2 or 3 cm in diameter. Does anybody have any ideas ? David |

| 252 forum posts 68 photos | Marvellous – thanks all. The key was knowing to use the search term ‘Watch glass’. A special thanks to Ian – but unfortunately 0.17mm is a bit too thin, but no the less thank you. David |
