You Can't Break A Window Without Making Some Glass

You Can't Break A Window Without Making Some Glass Wasn’t really sure how to tag this one as far as site categories go. Ended up going in to inspiration.

It is a short flick by J. P. Morgan explaining on how to make Breakaway Glass. Breakaway glass is the glass used when you see things break in a movie, like a person going through a show window or that oh-so-common whine bottle on the head shot.

Turns out it takes very little to produce breakaway glass. The film and recipe after the jump.

Recipe

2 cups of Distilled water.
1 cup of light corn syrup.
3 1/2 cups of Sugar.
1/4 teaspoon of cream of tarter.
Add all ingredients into the metal cooking pot.
Bring mixture to boil stirring it constantly.
Let it continue boiling on high until it reaches 300 degrees.
This will take about 45 minutes.
Spray the cookie sheet with the spray cooking oil.
Pour the mixture onto the cookie sheet and let cool for at least 1 hour.
Your glass is finished. Because of the spray oil it will fall right out of the cookie sheet
