There had been a tiny crack on the corner and when I went to put it back on, the glass broke. Does anyone have a suggestion on making a new one of these? It basically looks like some picture glass with one side frosted. Can I get some glass cut and spray it with some kind of matte spray? Let me know, Thanks, Mark Zimmerman | ||

Put the template in front of the glass and re-assemble. Not quite as good as real ground glass but better than the spray. Next look for some new ground glass. Be sure and re-check your infinity setting. Russ | ||
