Thick glass gets a bad rap for newbies

Everyone told me to use thin glass at first, but thick let me watch the heat change without rushing. It saved me from a lot of cracked pieces. Do you start with thick or thin?

Yeah I read this blog post from a garage studio that said the same thing. They argued thin glass cracks because newbies heat it unevenly without even realizing. Thick glass gives you that buffer, like watching the glow move slower through the glass. Lets you catch a cold spot before it becomes a crack. That logic made me switch when teaching friends.

Guess that explains why I kept cracking thin stuff early on, @the_hannah.
