    Borosilicate glass ?

    Does anyone know where I could get borosilicate glass at, at an affordable price? I've been searching and I really can't seem to find it anywhere. I need 6"x6" or 8"x8" if anyone can help.

    Isn't that just pyrex cooking glass that you can buy in any store?

    Ordinary glass will crack under repeat thermal stress (from the bed heating and cooling). Borosilicate can handle the heat and will last longer.
