Try taking a razor blade to the glass where you plan on making your score and clean it until you are positive the glass is immaculate. Also, using some sort of alcohol or acetone to clean the glass helps. Make sure you are using some sort of lubrication for the score as well. HTH.

Good points. The glass has some haze from where I scraped off the coraline. It's clear but hazy, so I'll do as you say and give it a real good scraping.
As for the lube, what do you recommend? Water, WD40...??
Thanks for the help!
