Clear Glass Scraps

I use mainly Gordon's ULS in my builds. When I get them from Binghams they are 72" and I am usually left with about 10 inches after using a strip for a takedown limb. What if anything do you guys do with the scrap glass. I hate that I waste so much but to my knowledge you can't get Gordon's by the foot

Laminate it into risers to stiffen/strengthen them? You could splice two together and use them on the compression side with no issues.

I use them as tip reinforcement with wood or other glass color

I use them to spread glue on lams. Other than that, I throw em away.

Keep saving them till you have enough to make a block and shape them into the worlds first translucent riser

Flem, only problem is it would also be the world's smallest recurve riser at only 10".

Knife handle scales. Laminate different colors and patterns of cloth between layers for different effects.
