Canadian Glass Standard

I run a small fab shop with most of jobs being the glass jobs. Since I am a small player, the supplier has been bumping up the price since they know I don’t have much bargain power. It is eating away my profits big time. I am thinking to import glass from somewhere else, mostly likely China. I understand that the glass in Canada needs to comply with the CGSB. For example, the tempered glass needs to be stamped to say it complies with CAN/CGSB 12.1.M. How does it work with imported glass?

Thanks

Need help finding a certain specialty tool for glass removal.

I am looking for a special glass removal tool and have searched the web for hours with no luck. The tool I'm after kinda looks like a inverted pizza cutter with a large plastic base. The tool is used for cutting the seal or glazing tape that holds the glass into the window frame. If anybody knows what I'm talking about and can point me in the right direction it would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Removing of streak line on fogging mirror

I have just purchased and installed a mirror for my bathroom. Recently, i notice that there will be streak lines on the mirror whenever there is fogging. What i understand from my installer is that the lines is caused by a layer of wax which is applied on the mirror to prevent scratches on the mirror. If so, is there any way that i can remove the lines so it doesn't appear again when fogging? Tried removing it with glass cleaner.
