How can I tell if this is tempered glass. There were no markings on it and it was very thin. Thanks

Break it?
Seriously, if I can't see the etching because it's not there or because of dirty glass I defer it to be verified and recommend the safety/tempered glass for enhanced safety, or some such. ____________________________________________ "An Education, not just an Inspection" Larry Kage Lake Ann (Traverse City), Michigan 49650 231 929 3525 Professional Inspector and Infrared Thermographer serving the Traverse City, Michigan area and beyond.

The id bug on tempered glass is imparted during the tempering process and since tempered glass can not be cut... if there is no bug visable call it out if it is in a location that would require it.

Dosen't have to be a big hammer Greg, but it sure will go out as a bang.
