Cutting Glass -NOT drilling holes

Acetone will also attack some plastics, so depending on the material of the tank trim, this may not go well.

As in it may be dangerous for us to be around it if that happens? I was thinking acetone nail polish remover....

I have used a guitar string to separate the panes from each other.

As in may destroy the tank trim.

Just depends if you want to use that trim again or not.

I wasn't planning on it. i've heard that the trim gets destroyed during taking apart the tank anyway.

it is nail polish remover but if you go to an automotive store you can buy a gallon of it cheap and it will be much stronger. clearly do not use on any painted surface you care about.

After the glass is cut, how do you take care of the sharp edges?

Sand paper or a dremel with grinding stone.
