Break Away Glass

Hey all,

Has anyone had a good experience making their own sugar glass? We are doing "The Odd Couple" and need to break a few glasses on stage. Or does anyone have a vendor they have had good results with? Thank You!!
 
I typically use Rosco. Pretty much guaranteed you get the right product. Never made my own, usually too busy to go through the hassle. Internet research shows some people having success, but they were making it as a novelty to eat after smashing it. go figure.
 
TheatreFX is also great for breakaways. We've had good luck with their bottles.
 
Sounds good to me, I will check both out. I was hoping to find something a little cheaper, but anything has been listed as "can not guarantee non broken shipment"
 
Be aware, I had some spares stored in the attic of the theater, but they melted due to heat. You may also need to think about how the glass gets cleaned up if any gets on the floor. A good sweeping is all we needed. We had ours for Guys and Dolls, and had to do a sweep in between set changes as the noise was obnoxious and for us a hazard to the next dance scene.
